Goverment of Vallejar
State expenses
Vallejar is characterized by having a diversified economy with austere spending. This doesn't mean that little is invested in public services and their maintenance; rather, by law, both the national government and those of the small municipalities and cities are prohibited from running any kind of deficit and debt, except in cases of extreme importance, danger, or instability, such as war, a pandemic, or a global crisis. In such extreme cases, any loan or deficit must be approved by the general government.
Government spending is tightly controlled, with meticulous oversight of each investment, minimizing corruption cases and their impact on economic resources. Moreover, penalties for corruption, embezzlement, and other forms of public fund manipulation include life imprisonment, as it is considered "a theft from the effort and work of all Vallejarians."
