The Confederacy of Valdion is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lord General Draxnair Valun with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.396 billion Valdionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baku. The average income tax rate is 88.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Valdionian economy, worth a remarkable 1,061 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,926 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Warfare increasingly resembles a video game, the Treasury Minister takes anxiety medication every time kids lose their sports kits, medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, and Lord General Draxnair Valun shrugs in the face of growing inequalities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valdion's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Valdion is ranked 287,204^th in the world and 1,246^th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 0.26 average smiles per day.
