The Queendom of Vallermoore is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Yocasta with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, infamous sell-swords, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 28.615 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 7,998 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 frequent. Average income is an amazing 279,517 Chingchings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, and the standard police uniform now comes with several colours of belt. 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 4,464th in the world and 13th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 593.6 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
