The Holy and Exalted Empire of Valentian Elysium is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Holy Emperor Nino II the Good with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.301 billion Valento-Elysians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brudondam. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valentian-Elysian economy, worth 730 trillion b0Is a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,933 b0Is, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valentian Elysium's national animal is the robin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Valentian Elysium is ranked 11,089^th in the world and 195^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,282.25 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
