The Federated States of Qavria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.041 billion Qavrics are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Walrus City. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Qavrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,670 trillion schillings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 138,725 schillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's leading climatologists are investigating animal flatulence in efforts to reduce methane emissions, celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Leader, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qavria's national animal is the walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Violet.

Qavria is ranked 9,118^th in the world and 476^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 426.48 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
