The Second Gold Onion of Laus Val is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Generic Charles with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.407 billion Laus Valians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, with Welfare, Education, and Defense also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alvor. The average income tax rate is 41.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Laus Valian economy, worth 48.6 trillion Ondas a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,532 Ondas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Generic Charles's throne, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laus Val's national animal is the White Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Onionism.

Laus Val is ranked 219,644^th in the world and 2,626^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 412.48 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
