The High Order Technocracy of Valiacorkit is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Bellona with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 3.363 billion Fleshy blood sacks are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blood Factory. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Fleshy blood sack economy, worth 254 trillion Blood bags a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 75,746 Blood bags, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', Blood Factory's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valiacorkit's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bloodlust.

Valiacorkit is ranked 20,471^st in the world and 712^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,952.67 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
