The Allied States of Kowani is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ijho DCadela with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 2.966 billion Kowanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Seviya. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Kowani economy, worth 661 trillion Kaolis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 222,909 Kaolis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Nova Seviya to enjoy their national art, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and cremation is compulsory for the deceased. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kowani's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Kowani is ranked 150,143^rd in the world and 27^th in League of Constructed Languages for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -830.22 on the Hayek Index.
