The Empire of Valhyrion is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Aurelius Valyrian with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.157 billion Valhyrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valhyrian economy, worth 169 trillion Valorian Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 146,747 Valorian Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Where there's a will there is usually a password manager, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, the 'sing-a-long with Emperor Aurelius Valyrian' album is a popular souvenir, and the national security service are a bunch of crooks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valhyrion's national animal is the Twin Serpent Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Faith.

Valhyrion is ranked 248,584th in the world and 1,296th in Europe for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 27.08 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
