The Valkyrian Republic of Qvait is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Jarlskona Katja Murphy with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 26.35 billion Valkyrians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravneby. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Valkyrian economy, worth a remarkable 9,725 trillion Valkyrian vekts 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 369,092 Valkyrian vekts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vaccinations are mandatory, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and visiting the best Valkyrian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qvait's national animal is the blue jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Valrissi.

Qvait is ranked 921st in the world and 25th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 383 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
