The Violently Angelic Privateer of Valkyrie Reborn is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Cpt Valentine Morrison with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 18.913 billion Privateers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Command Bridge. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Crew economy, worth a remarkable 4,074 trillion Shares a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 215,424 Shares, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Vegetarianism is compulsory, scholars are leaving the country at an alarming rate, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, and residential tower blocks are surrounded by warrens of concrete tunnels. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Valkyrie Reborn's national animal is the Space-Monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Cult of Cthulhu.

Valkyrie Reborn is ranked 331,660th in the world and 81st in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 19.14 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
