The Federation of Corven is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 489 million Corvens 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 Law & Order, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blackwing City. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Corvenian economy, worth 34.1 trillion Corvents a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,715 Corvents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, the public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, Leader's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, and giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corven's national animal is the Black Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Corven is ranked 139,626^th in the world and 2,627^th in The North Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 13.75 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
