The People's Republic of Costavozka is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Gregory Costava with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.096 billion Costavozkans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Edevar. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Costavozkan economy, worth 528 trillion Costavozkian Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,143 Costavozkian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, increasing numbers of children in Costavozka have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Costavozka's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Costavozka is ranked 8,439^th in the world and 21^st in The Western Isles for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
