The High Athelingric of Valoprawr is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 4.794 billion Valoprawrians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 28.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Valoprawrian economy, worth 196 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 41,076 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adoptionism has been named as Valoprawr's national religion, cases of disease among the civilian population dwindle as civilian population dwindles, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, and dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valoprawr's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Valoprawr is ranked 280,544^th in the world and 1,286^th in Snep for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 36.69 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
