The Incorporated States of Corvinum is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 767 million Corvuns are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corvus Metropolis. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Corvun economy, worth 34.5 trillion Codars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,009 Codars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

People who have lived their entire lives in Corvinum are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and Corvinum has designated Corvus Metropolis as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corvinum's national animal is the Imperial Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Corvinum is ranked 144,402^nd in the world and 1,835^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 74.57 on the Hayek Index.
