The Union of Valerion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Overlord Valerius with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.382 billion Valerionites are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valerion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Valerionic economy, worth a remarkable 9,323 trillion Denariis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 416,551 Denariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, the overhead luggage compartment is often full, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valerion's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Valerion is ranked 142,013th in the world and 3,363rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 591.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
