The Imperium of Kauvara is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emp Aleksandr Or'yan and PM J Fontson with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.418 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vulpes. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The people of Kauvara are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave, Max Barry is this year's Miss Kauvara, and billions of Coalition credits are being blown on orbital weapons development. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Kauvara's national animal is the Red Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Vulpesian Animism, and its currency is the Coalition credit.

Kauvara is ranked 4th in The Darklands and 50,105th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 19 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
