The Anthrostate of Korwin is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Consul Almeida with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.935 billion Korwinians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashkiln. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Korwinian economy, worth a remarkable 3,380 trillion liens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 283,206 liens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lion is one of the most popular forenames in Korwin, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Ashkiln to enjoy their national art, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, and elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korwin's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Korwin is ranked 1,878th in the world and 8th in NationStates for Safest, scoring 149.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
