The People's Republic of Korvatt is a fledgling, cultured nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 6 million Korvattians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Korvattian economy, worth 168 billion Kark Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 28,035 Kark Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korvatt's national animal is the Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Korvatt is ranked 94,288^th in the world and 24^th in Squeaky Squeakers for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 979.39 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
