The Democratic States of Korvspad is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.653 billion Korvspadians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Korvspadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,309 trillion Gruses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 171,157 Gruses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex-ed is child's play, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, and on-duty Air Korvspad flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korvspad's national animal is the Eremitkräfta, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Korvspad is ranked 1,696^th in the world and 11^th in Starlight for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 118.37 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
