The Remains of Redvalk is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Torblednam with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.331 billion Spirals are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mandelbrot. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Spiral economy, worth 151 trillion Mandelbrots a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 114,157 Mandelbrots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, and the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Redvalk's national animal is the Spiral, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fractal.

Redvalk is ranked 51,335^th in the world and 2^nd in The end of a time for Highest Average Incomes, with 114,157.7 Standard Monetary Units.
