The People's Republic of Korbalis is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Premier Kateryna Shevchenko with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 9.607 billion Korvalians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velhorod. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Korvalian economy, worth a remarkable 2,414 trillion krenns 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. 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 an amazing 251,308 krenns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, the wreckages of bombed planes that litter Korbalis are highly popular tourist destinations, and recent events in Dàguó have been classified 'for Premier Kateryna Shevchenko's eyes only'. Crime is totally unknown. Korbalis's national animal is the Korvalian elk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Korbalis is ranked 8,639^th in the world and 19^th in Declansburg for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,118.52 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
