The Allied States of Kowani is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ijho DCadela with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.902 billion Kowanis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Seviya. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Kowani economy, worth 368 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 broadly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 193,901 Kaolis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler'. 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 1,765^th in the world and 5^th in The Western Isles for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 12,657.5 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
