The True Valhallan Federation of Polar Islandstates is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Secretary General Orion Lund with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 15.664 billion Valhallans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Franz Josef City. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Valhallan economy, worth a remarkable 1,669 trillion Sols a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 106,587 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government is a law unto itself, the police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee, concussed Valhallan Ternball players cannot remember their lineup position, and one complaint of Polar Islandstates's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Polar Islandstates's national animal is the Valhallan Tern, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Polar Islandstates is ranked 7,416th in the world and 6th in Rushmore for Most Cultured, scoring 136 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
