The Matriarchy of Sirocco Vale is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 4.78 billion Sirocco Valeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 45.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Sirocco Valean economy, worth 116 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,286 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sirocco Vale's national animal is the Squirrel.

Sirocco Vale is ranked 175,897^th in the world and 3^rd in The Alliance of Queens for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 137.91 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
