The Holy Empire of Kangavar is a massive, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.913 billion Kangavarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kangavarian economy, worth 180 trillion Kangavarian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 46,091 Kangavarian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kangavar's national animal is the Northern American Flying Squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kangavar is ranked 6,229^th in the world and 8^th in Cajetan for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
