The Empire of Valaira is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 446 million Valairans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arendelle. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Valairan economy, worth 27.0 trillion Velars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,474 Velars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, the government seizes the property of the recently deceased, a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger, and the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valaira's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valaira is ranked 28,252^nd in the world and 671^st in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 73.88 Effective Tax Rate.
