The Utopia of Valles Auri is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Lord Imperium with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.059 billion Valles Aurians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valeria. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Valles Aurian economy, worth 326 trillion Valcens 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 Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 106,853 Valcens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valles Auri's national animal is the Blue Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Valles Auri is ranked 264,946^th in the world and 128^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Black Market, with 113 billion Standard Monetary Units.
