The Principality of ValleyOfTheWind is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Nausica with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 24.734 billion valley dwellers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Village City. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped ValleyOfTheWindian economy, worth 781 trillion rices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,584 rices, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Illegal hunting is rife after veganism was recently made compulsory, Nausica is the self-declared God of all ValleyOfTheWind, the police force is rumoured to be made up of evil shadows with no souls, and Nausica has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ValleyOfTheWind's national animal is the Ohm and its national religion is religiousness.

ValleyOfTheWind is ranked 301,343^rd in the world and 3^rd in Midgard for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 14,149.89 Standard Monetary Units.
