The Free Republic of Krovel is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Stovler with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, prohibition of alcohol, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 13.769 billion Krovelians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strov. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.7%.

The powerhouse Krovelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,640 trillion Tavas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,154 Tavas, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and businessmen behave differently if their supervisor is watching. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krovel's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Stovlerism.

Krovel is ranked 78,227^th in the world and 3^rd in Island Of Union for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,946.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
