The Republic of Valkea is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Afanasi Koski with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 19.715 billion Valkeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Källälivi. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valkean economy, worth a remarkable 2,807 trillion Kruunus a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,379 Kruunus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The black market offers sweet deals, knock-knock jokes regularly get removed from websites for being too edgy, rogue nations are placing suspiciously large bulk orders for student laptops, and people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valkea's national animal is the Valkean Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valkea is ranked 12,634^th in the world and 4^th in Astyria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,626.08 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
