The Federation of Valonian States is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 435 million Valonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libertas. The average income tax rate is 38.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Valonian Statesian economy, worth 33.4 trillion Valons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,822 Valons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Valonian States, gift baskets often contain working nukes, and giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valonian States's national animal is the Valonian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Valonian States is ranked 84,283^rd in the world and 1,240^th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 76,822.62 Standard Monetary Units.
