The State of Kivalliq is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.653 billion Kivalliqians 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 tiny government prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The very strong Kivalliqian economy, worth 786 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 29,513 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and Kivalliq has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem. Kivalliq's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kivalliq is ranked 114,526^th in the world and 4^th in Canberra for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,067.9 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
