The True Valhallan Federation of Polar Islandstates is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Secretary General Orion Lund with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 15.825 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, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. 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 1,686 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 37,872nd in the world and 19th in Rushmore for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
