The Glorious Dominion of Convaria is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sovereign Luetred Nylray with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.151 billion Convarians 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wrocksall. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Convarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,410 trillion Rikes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 259,368 Rikes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 882,291 per year while the poor average 56,203, a ratio of 15.7 to 1.

Children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark, and the banshee wail foretells skies of death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Convaria's national animal is the Aurochs, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Convaria is ranked 917^th in the world and 2^nd in Fifth Empire for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 254,440.27 Standard Monetary Units.
