The Grand Duchy of Valenstanistan is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 18 million Valenstanistanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 19.0%.

The strong Valenstanistanian economy, worth 993 billion Valenstanistanian tenges a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 55,176 Valenstanistanian tenges, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Harry Potter books are banned, surveillance cameras are banned, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and calling dibs is an unalienable right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valenstanistan's national animal is the Horse.

Valenstanistan is ranked 319,464^th in the world and 3,500^th in The East Pacific for Largest Populations, with 18.0 million capita.
