The Commonwealth of Valhelmry is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 669 million Valhelmryians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Welfare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhelmry City. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Valhelmryian economy, worth 32.9 trillion Valhelmrian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 49,124 Valhelmrian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is paving paradises to put up parking lots, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, the nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, and gift baskets often contain working nukes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valhelmry's national animal is the Aquila Chrysaetos, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valhelmry is ranked 306,970^th in the world and 652^nd in The Frontier Sea for Largest Black Market, with 10.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
