The Dorvaniin Empire of Korolk is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Serimys with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.889 billion Dorvaniin 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koltyrnak. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Dorvaniin economy, worth a remarkable 2,023 trillion Kurzegans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 204,573 Kurzegans, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer, you can check out of an asylum if you've changed your mind, most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade, and Dorvaniin suffer not the eggplant emoji to live. 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. Korolk's national animal is the Dorvan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of the Underworld.

Korolk is ranked 149,326th in the world and 88th in Institute of Cellulose for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.4 law-abiding acts per hour.
