The Republic of Kawhia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 14.934 billion Kawhians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kawhia City. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Kawhian economy, worth 474 trillion sea waters a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 31,765 sea waters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, people regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Kawhia's national animal is the spirit goddess, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kawhia is ranked 68,188th in the world and 23rd in Shinka for Most Stationary, with 694.80863865552 days.
