The Republic of Valadin is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.209 billion Valadinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carna. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Valadinian economy, worth 329 trillion vals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 102,683 vals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Valadinian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security", and foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valadin's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valadin is ranked 13,174^th in the world and 919^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
