The Jarldoms of The Burke Islands is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ylva the Valkyrie with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.425 billion Norvalthans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dómstóll Brúsi. The average income tax rate is 3.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nørvalthic economy, worth a remarkable 5,116 trillion Thálas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 263,417 Thálas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Coat closets are being re-branded as bedrooms, only lightning has a chance of striking Ylva the Valkyrie twice, claims of miracles are met with calls to eradicate religion as superstitious nonsense, and parents dread their examinations more than their children. Crime is totally unknown. The Burke Islands's national animal is the Dire Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nørvalthic Paganism.

The Burke Islands is ranked 11,296th in the world and 1st in Argo Navis for Most Stationary, with 2,168.86432025928 days.
