The Raccoon of Valiraisia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by The Great Raccoony Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its public floggings, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.311 billion Valiraisians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Education, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalinkisnalia. The average income tax rate is 26.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Valiraisian economy, worth 241 trillion Crystalline Lotus Petals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,429 Crystalline Lotus Petals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Valiraisians like vultures, economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, photographers have to apply for a license to photograph The Great Raccoony Council, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. Crime is totally unknown. Valiraisia's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Raccoon Supremacy.

Valiraisia is ranked 151,793^rd in the world and 2,873^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 721.28 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
