The Kingdom of Valmont is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Odette II with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 26.602 billion Valmontians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belvoir. The average income tax rate is 36.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valmontian economy, worth a remarkable 3,355 trillion Livres a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,154 Livres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are arrested for naturally producing proteins, internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Queen Odette II to cartoon bears, victims of limb-mauling industrial accidents are told to keep working with their remaining hand, and the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valmont's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Valmont is ranked 29,300^th in the world and 1^st in Corsiva for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
