The People's Republic of Eastern Valskovia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Feodor Alexandrov with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, lack of airports, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed population of 2.224 billion Eastern Valskovians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zavutsk. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Eastern Valskovian economy, worth 146 trillion tschekovs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is 65,677 tschekovs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nerdy teenagers have to prove that they're made of the same stuff as their grandparents, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, and if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Eastern Valskovian satellites can detect it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Valskovia's national animal is the Trakehner, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eastern Valskovia is ranked 113,357^th in the world and 4,812^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,846.95 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
