The Defender of Kivu 3 is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, disturbing lack of elderly people, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.108 billion Kivu 3ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Kivu 3ian economy, worth 906 trillion baht a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,593 baht, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, and the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kivu 3's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kivu 3 is ranked 294,313^th in the world and 4,669^th in eta for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
