The Anthrostate of Korwin is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Consul Almeida with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.859 billion Korwinians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Korwinian economy, worth a remarkable 3,368 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 284,022 liens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Critical thinking is grounds for expulsion from university, Lion is one of the most popular forenames in Korwin, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Ashkiln to enjoy their national art, and obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals. 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 287,035^th in the world and 825^th in NationStates for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -17.02 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
