The Sacred Empire of Corvandia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Augustine Corvand with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.112 billion Corvandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosivalk. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Corvandian economy, worth 127 trillion Corvandian Denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 114,895 Corvandian Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', and the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience. 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 139,155^th in the world and 5,835^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 64.15 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
