The Socialist Republic of Kavanos is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Daihai with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.794 billion Kavaneses 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalit City. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kavanese economy, worth a remarkable 2,855 trillion KVN Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,028 KVN Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Automotive regulators are throwing in the towel, traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways, the past is set in stone, and all facts are created equal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kavanos's national animal is the firefox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Kavanos is ranked 307,815^th in the world and 3,987^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -23.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
