The Glorious Socialist Republic of Civea is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Marshal Kwame Vladimir Mao-Allende with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.133 billion Civeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad de Amarna-Luxor. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Civean economy, worth 31.9 trillion Yaehns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 28,196 Yaehns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Two inland cities have unveiled their new desalination plants, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, and political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Civea's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Civea is ranked 294,643^rd in the world and 495^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Black Market, with 29.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
