The Anthrostate of Korwin is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Consul MakIlle with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.026 billion Korwinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashkiln. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Korwinian economy, worth a remarkable 4,889 trillion liens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 287,180 liens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are pillars of society, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Consul MakIlle's bedroom, Consul MakIlle's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, and all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korwin's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Korwin is ranked 133,651^st in the world and 84^th in Forest for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,406.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
