The Holy and Exalted Empire of Valentian Elysium is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Holy Emperor Nino II the Good with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.679 billion Valento-Elysians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brudondam. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valentian-Elysian economy, worth a remarkable 1,380 trillion b0Is a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,223 b0Is, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Stage mothers commonly give their children the nickname 'Cash', there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, beggars lack pockets for spare change, and what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valentian Elysium's national animal is the robin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valentian Elysium is ranked 42,805th in the world and 281st in 10000 Islands for Highest Average Incomes, with 118,223.27 Standard Monetary Units.
