The Republic of Valkyrie Sophie is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, triple-decker prams, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 586 million Valkyrie Sophieans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.2%.
The very strong Valkyrie Sophiean economy, worth 31.3 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 53,453 lire, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.
People who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, warning signs caution Valkyrie Sophieans where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', and reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valkyrie Sophie's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Valkyrie Sophie is ranked 120,372nd in the world and 9th in After the Fall for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,301.55 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
