The Socialist Republic of Kavanos is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Daihai with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.112 billion Kavaneses have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalit City. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kavanese economy, worth a remarkable 2,966 trillion KVN Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 210,191 KVN Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stocks go up when the internet says so, history lessons resemble a who's-who and how's-how of crime, watching shooting stars is Kavaneses' number two favorite pastime, and public toilets are famed for their rear entries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kavanos's national animal is the firefox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Kavanos is ranked 167,201^st in the world and 2,073^rd in The East Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 50 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
