The People's Republic of Korbalis is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Kateryna Shevchenko with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 9.632 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 2,435 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 252,882 krenns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Premier Kateryna Shevchenko's online image is the very model of a modern major leader, Korvalian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Premier Kateryna Shevchenko, vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, and prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows. Crime is totally unknown. Korbalis's national animal is the Korvalian elk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Korbalis is ranked 285,787^th in the world and 144^th in Declansburg for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.94 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
