The Holy Union of Pax Valmora is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Organization with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.03 billion Pax Valmorans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Holy Sea. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pax Valmoran economy, worth 457 trillion scepters a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,034 scepters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Pax Valmora to be bombproof, business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, and third world countries are rich in "I Love The Holy Sea" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pax Valmora's national animal is the Ospray, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Jehovahs Witnesses.

Pax Valmora is ranked 23,394^th in the world and 1,490^th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,403.09 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
