United Valleys, officially the Matriarchy of These United Valleys, is a socialist partitarian democracy located near the center of the Free Lands in Southeast Narushia, close to the Southern Circle. United Valleys covers large, ill-defined territory in the Free Lands area, and the privacy-concerned government has not yet released population statistics, but independent organizations estimate that there are about 71 million Valleysian citizens. The government is currently operated by a complex and devolved system of municipal councils, regional labor union offices, a centralized resource management apparatus, and an explicitly communist military. The country is notable for its implementation of "Street Officers," elected social workers who are expected to assist residents and visitors with issues, often mundane, such as providing directions to tourists, or assisting in filing a form. The officers are considered critical to the functioning of Valleysian society, as independent vehicular travel is near impossible given that personal automobiles have been made fully illegal. The nation's rise to prominence and international recognition in the Narushian Free Lands may fill a significant power vacuum on the continent if the young government can maintain stability and legitimacy.
