The Republic of Kivu 53 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.891 billion Kivu 53ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.0%.
The very strong Kivu 53ian economy, worth 267 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,698 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.
The military struggles with recruitment, the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kivu 53's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Kivu 53 is ranked 29,989th in the world and 494th in Artificial Solar System for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 28.78 missed references per hour.
