The Republic of Kuvo is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.403 billion Kuvoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Batavia. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Kuvoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,974 trillion guldens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 189,765 guldens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, builders across Kuvo are blocked up with orders for new public loos, thousands of former pirates can be found peddling knockoff products in flea markets, and artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kuvo's national animal is the hawk-eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kuvo is ranked 244,057th in the world and 120th in The Western Isles for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -3.46 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
