The Corporate Council of Valeece is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Roseburn Commander-in-Chief AI Unit with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, conspicuous electricity pylons, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 23.571 billion Valean 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 medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oasrome. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Valean economy, worth a remarkable 6,003 trillion Credits a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 254,717 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 819,258 per year while the poor average 59,983, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, cigarettes are dead-cheap, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and political shows are fit for purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Valeece's national animal is the Freckled Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Corporate Sanctity.

Valeece is ranked 290,649^th in the world and 1^st in Northern Isles for Lowest Crime Rates, with 27.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
