Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of Khvarvaran is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 2.644 billion enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Defence, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Khvarvaran's national animal is the brachytrachelopan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the vitamin water.

Khvarvaran is ranked 5th in Iraq and 15,017th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
