The Holy Queendom of Covenous is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 520 million Covenousians 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, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Coven. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.3%.
The very strong Covenousian economy, worth 29.9 trillion mana points a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,585 mana points, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 172,756 per year while the poor average 14,993, a ratio of 11.5 to 1.
Meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits, thrift shops are closing their doors, every school is receiving a brand new eraser, and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Covenous's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Covenous is ranked 202,174th in the world and 9,663rd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
