The Grand Duchy of Dvalheim is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Joltana IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.363 billion Dvalheimians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vinby. The average income tax rate is 49.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dvalheimian economy, worth 176 trillion United Kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 129,753 United Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The mob vote is a crucial electoral demographic, immigrants who don't like the taste of Dvalheimian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, museums offer moralization or your money back, and police are trained in using their steel-capped boots as a tool of law enforcement. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dvalheim's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dualism.

Dvalheim is ranked 18,078^th in the world and 3^rd in Krautia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 325.52 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
