The Republic of Vaeldoria is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.561 billion Vaeldorians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.0%.

The powerhouse Vaeldorian economy, worth 463 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 101,514 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, the dictionary is a common first book for children, and recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaeldoria's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vaeldoria is ranked 30,417^th in the world and 2^nd in Valerian Reach for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 27,453.29 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
