The People's Commonwealth of Covarria is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Amelia Hartyer with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.765 billion Covarrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Covardon. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Covarrian economy, worth 172 trillion covarrian pounds 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 led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 97,666 covarrian pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prenuptial contracts have replaced diamond rings in marriage proposals, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, and New Covardon is a police state during international summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Covarria's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Covarria is ranked 273,177^th in the world and 5,845^th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 8,301.67 Standard Monetary Units.
