The Superior Kivu

The Democratic Republic of The Superior Kivu is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.761 billion Superior Kivuans 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.1%.

The thriving Superior Kivuan economy, worth 285 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,864 Marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, every workday begins with group therapy, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Superior Kivu's national animal is the Wolverine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Superior Kivu is ranked 77,407th in the world and 6th in Fukuoka for Most Extreme, scoring 26.4 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
