The Money of Stal Valley is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ultimate evil money leader XVII with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.763 billion Stal Vallains are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Industry, although Spirituality, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Education aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Money. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Stal Valleyian economy, worth 606 trillion Monies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 219,341 Monies, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, everybody's got wood thanks to Ultimate evil money leader XVII, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, and government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Stal Valley's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Stal Valley is ranked 266,921^st in the world and 5,916^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 40.13 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
