The '''Republic of Valverde''' (''República de Valverde'') is an island country in the Caribbean. Though its physical size, population, and global influence are all quite small, it boasts a long and proud democratic tradition which its people take great pride in. Free, fair, transparent elections are held frequently, political debate is open and lively, and parties from across the spectrum enjoy representation in the legislature. Human rights are held sacrosanct, distribution of income and land is fairly even, and the standard of living is relatively high, even though the country itself is not wealthy.

The country is a veritable melting pot of cultures, blending influences from pre-Columbian America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. A majority of its population is of white Spanish descent, although mulattoes, blacks (most of whom are descended from slaves), other Europeans, and Asians are all sizable minorities. Roman Catholicism is the most widely practiced faith, but the country has no official religion, and almost all of the world's religions are practiced on the island.
