The Freehold of Valyria is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord Maelor Vesperzys with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.193 billion Valyrians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Valyria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The strong Valyrian economy, worth 684 trillion golden dragons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 74,441 golden dragons, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

For just a few extra golden dragons Valyrians can get new driving records with their new cars, Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Valyria's national animal is the dragon and its national religion is draconism.

Valyria is ranked 21,098^th in the world and 4^th in Westeros for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,756.56 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
