The Union of Valerion is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Overlord Valerius with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.313 billion Valerionites are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valerion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Valerionic economy, worth a remarkable 9,292 trillion Denariis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 416,461 Denariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A government program is underway to revitalize Valerion's beaches, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, and no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valerion's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Valerion is ranked 140^th in the world and 6^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 268.76 law-abiding acts per hour.
