The Money of Stal Valley is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ultimate evil money leader XVII with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and feral children. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.781 billion Stal Vallains are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Spirituality, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Education aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Money. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Stal Valleyian economy, worth 611 trillion Monies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 219,746 Monies, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

People forget to eat because they are too busy singing Ultimate evil money leader XVII's praises, frequent broken zippers have resulted in safety pins making a fashion comeback, homesickness is thought to be a waterborne illness, and the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Stal Valley's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Stal Valley is ranked 284,952^nd in the world and 6,267^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -208.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
