The Kievan Russ Republic of Valkiir is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by John Rhictor-Valkiiri with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and smutty television. The hard-nosed population of 8.75 billion Valkiiris 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 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Valkiiri economy, worth a remarkable 2,740 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 313,229 Standards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, policy reversals are more often graceful demi-détournés than u-turns, and skateparks can be found in every city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valkiir's national animal is the Swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Valkiir is ranked 146,823^rd in the world and 24^th in United Forum of Nations for Most Politically Free, scoring 54.48 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
