The Federal Republic of Valkoristan is a large, cultured nation, notable for its national health service, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 168 million Valkoristanians 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 medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Valkoristanian economy, worth 9.63 trillion Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,320 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, chickens roam the streets freely, and crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valkoristan's national animal is the Grizzly bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valkoristan is ranked 57,654^th in the world and 1,064^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 50,032.9 Standard Monetary Units.
