The Kingdom of Sivka is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 489 million Sivkans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Sivkan economy, worth 20.7 trillion Denars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,411 Denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, treason is relative, and military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sivka's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sivka is ranked 71,481^st in the world and 1,978^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,033.99 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
