The Matriarchy of Kovalevskaya Mathematics is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.583 billion Kovalevskaya Mathematicsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kovalevskaya Mathematicsian economy, worth 449 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 80,461 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Contestants on Kovalevskaya Mathematics's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, gangs of political bullies tell minority voices to "shut up because we say so", and it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kovalevskaya Mathematics's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kovalevskaya Mathematics is ranked 262,363^rd in the world and 148^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.72 kickbacks per hour.
