The Republic of Kivu XXXXVII is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning cobra population. The hard-nosed population of 645 million Kivu XXXXVIIians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 27.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kivu XXXXVIIian economy, worth 22.8 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,306 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, warning signs caution Kivu XXXXVIIians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, and Kivu XXXXVII has designated Kivu XXXXVII City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kivu XXXXVII's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kivu XXXXVII is ranked 137,779^th in the world and 5^th in Alvarez for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 70.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
