The Holy Empire of Comviq is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Karim with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.038 billion Comviqians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Comviq. The average income tax rate is 49.8%.

The powerhouse Comviqian economy, worth 138 trillion KarimPTs a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 67,998 KarimPTs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, Ollie the Oiled Seal welcomes throngs of tourists to the newly opened Oil Oasis Water Park, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, and the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comviq's national animal is the Karim, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mobilabonnemang.

Comviq is ranked 158,200^th in the world and 3,824^th in the Pacific for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 273.13 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
