The Weirwood Commune of Kavamkao is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Comrade Brynden Rivers with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14.44 billion Kavans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raventree Hall. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The Kavan economy, worth a remarkable 1,307 trillion Dragons a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 90,566 Dragons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lobotomised jaywalkers can barely ambulate let alone repeat their offences, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Three-Eyed Crow Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kavamkao's national animal is the Three-Eyed Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the Old Gods.

Kavamkao is ranked 310,912th in the world and 12th in Solidarity for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -37.33 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
