The Anthrostate of Korwin is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Consul Almeida with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.785 billion Korwinians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashkiln. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Korwinian economy, worth a remarkable 3,334 trillion liens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 282,927 liens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, Ashkiln is a police state during international summits, the new coalition government is so large nobody knows where it begins, and lavish state dinners in Ashkiln are the state's leading budgetary expenditure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korwin's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Korwin is ranked 1,012^th in the world and 4^th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 170.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
