The United Kingdom of Valoraca is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alex Cooper with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ban on automobiles, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 2.345 billion Valoracans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Valoracan economy, worth 355 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 151,494 Pound Sterlings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 445,819 per year while the poor average 40,532, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, kids feel more beat up than ever after a hard day at school, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Valoraca's radio stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Valoraca's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Valoraca is ranked 44,669^th in the world and 1^st in Gwelchbodia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,304.63 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
