The Union of Valerion is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Overlord Valerius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.353 billion Valerionites are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valerion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Valerionic economy, worth a remarkable 9,310 trillion Denariis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 416,542 Denariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and the overhead luggage compartment is often full. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valerion's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Valerion is ranked 293,754th in the world and 7,227th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
