The United Socialist States of Kolvocia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 456 million Kolvokians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 61.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kolvokian economy, worth 18.6 trillion Proudshares a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 40,707 Proudshares, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, the new airport at Mr. Giles' farm is panicking his sheep, and the tragedy of the commons is being tested nationwide but everyone says it's somebody else's problem. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kolvocia's national animal is the Kolvokian Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kolvocia is ranked 231,041^st in the world and 10,032^nd in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 456 million capita.
