The Corporate Conglomerate of Valerox is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Hunteth Veredon with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, parental licensing program, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.521 billion Valeroxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silith. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valeroxian economy, worth a remarkable 9,525 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 404,995 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", murder comes with a cash prize if the victim was previously incarcerated, and being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valerox's national animal is the Mascot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Manifest Corporatism.

Valerox is ranked 38,824th in the world and 59th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Developed, scoring 79.99 on the Human Development Index.
