The Republic of Korva is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Siran Roux with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 12.509 billion Korvans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantine. The average income tax rate is 65.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Korvan economy, worth a remarkable 1,363 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 108,989 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, prison visits increase substantially during election years, third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, and female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korva's national animal is the Red Stag, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Korva is ranked 145,070^th in the world and 3^rd in Realism and RP for Most Pacifist, with 25.9 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
