The Kingdom of Valcyria is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The cynical population of 1.819 billion Valcyrians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Valish economy, worth 61.1 trillion Flares a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,595 Flares, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army is spending millions cloning khaki-colored dinosaurs, newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, and sex changes are routinely performed at Valcyria's hospitals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valcyria's national animal is the Fat Boar.

Valcyria is ranked 218,846th in the world and 11,597th in Lazarus for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,112.84 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
