The State of The Valleyview is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 34.314 billion Valleyviewians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The powerhouse Valleyviewian economy, worth a remarkable 1,804 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 52,589 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,541 per year while the poor average 2,825, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The Valleyview has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, The Governor has just been declared ruler of The Valleyview in an international press conference, and statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Valleyview's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Valleyview is ranked 204,248^th in the world and 4^th in Vietnam for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.19 kickbacks per hour.
