The Sacred Empire of Corvandia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Augustine Corvand with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.017 billion Corvandians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosivalk. The average income tax rate is 51.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Corvandian economy, worth 109 trillion Corvandian Denars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 108,115 Corvandian Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Petitions to the government are being used to insulate politicians' office walls, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, and Augustine Corvand is the self-declared God of all Corvandia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corvandia's national animal is the Husky, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Salxism.

Corvandia is ranked 119,617^th in the world and 5,511^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
