The Directorate of Valkalan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Director Vikko with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 29.906 billion Valks are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravingard. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Valk economy, worth an astonishing 22,272 trillion Syns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 744,747 Syns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,500,487 per year while the poor average 94,277, a ratio of 37.1 to 1.

Small children are frequently chased by rehabilitated pitbulls, serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, billions are being spent on a new island airport, and the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction. Crime is totally unknown. Valkalan's national animal is the Orca, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Valkalan is ranked 22,913th in the world and 1st in Zarathustra for Most Stationary, with 1,499.2990057258 days.
