The Holy Money of Stal Valley is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Ultimate evil money leader XVII with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 7.892 billion Stal Vallains are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Education aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Money. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Stal Valleyian economy, worth a remarkable 3,422 trillion Monies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 433,659 Monies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,520,850 per year while the poor average 11,794, a ratio of 298 to 1.

Commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, international war crimes are good for business and business is booming, absentminded citizens frequently converse with hallucinations, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Stal Valleyian language. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Stal Valley's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Stal Valley is ranked 331,815^th in the world and 4,807^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 1.33 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
