The Kingdom of Ivaldaria is a tiny, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 8 million Ivaldarians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 43.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ivaldarian economy, worth 345 billion Ikks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,205 Ikks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only adults may purchase violent video games, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ivaldaria's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ivaldaria is ranked 326,568^th in the world and 276^th in Aesica for Largest Populations, with 8.00 million capita.
