The Community of Corvalei is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 756 million Corvaleians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Corvaleian economy, worth 19.6 trillion Cents a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 25,989 Cents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Corvalei City, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, the people of Corvalei are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, and Corvaleians incessantly needle their doctors for relief. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corvalei's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Corvalei is ranked 276,688^th in the world and 232^nd in Aesica for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.77 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
