The Republic of Kivu 21 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, rampant corporate plagiarism, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.185 billion Kivu 21ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.8%.
The all-consuming Kivu 21ian economy, worth 394 trillion pounds 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 94,193 pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 352,697 per year while the poor average 17,599, a ratio of 20.0 to 1.
Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, only those who apply can study applied maths, weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, and Kivu 21 City University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kivu 21's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Kivu 21 is ranked 315,454th in the world and 5,492nd in Artificial Solar System for Nicest Citizens, with 0.68 average smiles per day.
