The Most Serene Republic of Valiacorkit is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 945 million Fleshy blood sacks are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blood Factory. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Fleshy blood sack economy, worth 27.9 trillion Blood bags a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 29,497 Blood bags, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, there is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship, and pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valiacorkit's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valiacorkit is ranked 152,171^st in the world and 7,548^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 470.39 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
