The Empire of Corvinious is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Corivan with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.463 billion Corviniousians 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, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spirepeak. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Corviniousian economy, worth 356 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 103,020 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs, young men in tiny bikinis draw neither comment nor stares on the morning commute, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, and kidnapping has become the latest get-rich-quick scheme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corvinious's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Corvinious is ranked 166,172^nd in the world and 277^th in Europeia for Largest Populations, with 3.46 billion capita.
