The Armed Republic of Valkiir is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by John Rhictor-Valkiiri with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 4.833 billion Valkiirii have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valkiir City. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Valkiirii economy, worth a remarkable 1,351 trillion Standards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 279,542 Standards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, a new "thought police" branch is being developed, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, and a third of Valkiirii are e-certified CEOs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Valkiir's national animal is the Swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Valkiir is ranked 7,681^st in the world and 3^rd in United Nations of Earthlings for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 100 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
