The Republic of Kivu 52 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.338 billion Kivu 52ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Kivu 52ian economy, worth 286 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 Tourism, Retail, Trout Farming, 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 85,895 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, Kivu 52ians are wondering where have all the flowers gone, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, and murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kivu 52's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Kivu 52 is ranked 75,095th in the world and 1st in Combine world for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,338.22 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
