The Imperium Argentum of Kyavan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Evangeline I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.219 billion Kyavanis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbeaurum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Kyavanian economy, worth 538 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,387 Crowns, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

No one born in Kyavan can fix a leaky faucet, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, and 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyavan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Kyavan is ranked 208,470^th in the world and 82^nd in Azure Watester Federation for Most Stationary, with 0.3846178094 Days.
