The Delisted Stock Company of Valence Corporation is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Averie Adler with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, vat-grown people, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 1.578 billion contractors have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joint Base Nomari. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valencian economy, worth 317 trillion moneroes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 an amazing 200,977 moneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea, it's entirely possible foreign diplomats misheard when Valence Corporation offered the words "peace be upon you", and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valence Corporation's national animal is the unpaid intern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Valence Corporation is ranked 1,454^th in the world and 2^nd in Thaecia for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 25,375.24 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
