The Republic of Valiantan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by John Riccitiello with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 21.778 billion Valiantanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Axios. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valiantanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,349 trillion Swalvs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 199,699 Swalvs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects, a light facial coating of soot is seen as the mark of an honest and hardworking man, the Valiantanian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, and war criminals are given full state funerals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valiantan's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Euphoria.

Valiantan is ranked 284,337th in the world and 323rd in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Primitive, scoring -420.3 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
