The People's Republic of Costavozka is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Gregory Costava with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.235 billion Costavozkans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Edevar. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Costavozkan economy, worth 532 trillion Costavozkian Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,800 Costavozkian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, increasing numbers of children in Costavozka have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Costavozka's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Costavozka is ranked 217,541^st in the world and 131^st in The Western Isles for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.01 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
