The Community of Corvalei is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 495 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 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Corvaleian economy, worth 12.8 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 25,922 Cents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, bike rage is all the rage, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Corvalei City. 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 107,254^th in the world and 96^th in Aesica for Largest Governments, scoring 15.87 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
