The Socialist Republic of Kavanos is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Daihai with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.914 billion Kavaneses are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalit City. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kavanese economy, worth a remarkable 2,892 trillion KVN Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,858 KVN Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

On-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, nearby bird nests prompt wind turbine shutdowns, 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly, and environmentalists are staging large protests in front of reopened nuclear power plants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kavanos's national animal is the firefox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Kavanos is ranked 330,855^th in the world and 4,209^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -23.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
