The Theocracy of Valagosia is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and triple-decker prams. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 247 million Valagosians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 15.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Valagosian economy, worth 19.7 trillion Valans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,918 Valans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders, Valagosian schoolgirl uniforms have become alarmingly popular outside Valagosia, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime is totally unknown. Valagosia's national animal is the Valagos Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valagosia is ranked 244,240^th in the world and 108^th in RPS for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 28.59 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
