The Colony of Kaviska is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles. The hard-working, cynical population of 22.149 billion Kaviskans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 12.1%.

The Kaviskan economy, worth 889 trillion saars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,169 saars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Kaviska's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and vanity is considered the eigth cardinal virtue. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kaviska's national animal is the temperate manatee.

Kaviska is ranked 226,585^th in the world and 33^rd in Colonies for Safest, scoring 22.91 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
