The Queendom of Vallermoore is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Yocasta with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 28.554 billion Vallermooreans 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand City. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Vallermoorean economy, worth a remarkable 8,022 trillion Chingchings a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 280,972 Chingchings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable, the government has declared that sharing is uncaring, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, and a sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vallermoore's national animal is the Giant Spider, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Megatronism.

Vallermoore is ranked 3,543rd in the world and 2nd in The Union of Democratic States for Most Corrupt Governments, with 271.24 kickbacks per hour.
