The Principality of Evaldyr is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 315 million Evaldyrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.0%.

The Evaldyrian economy, worth 15.1 trillion Kronyrs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 47,862 Kronyrs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 155,816 per year while the poor average 11,072, a ratio of 14.1 to 1.

Tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, army rations are served on silver platters, and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Evaldyr's national animal is the Raedr, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Evaldyr is ranked 284,074^th in the world and 333^rd in The General Committee of Prolya for Highest Poor Incomes, with 11,072.75 Standard Monetary Units.
