The Kingdom of Kornovia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its aversion to nipples, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical population of 337 million Kornovians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wraklavitz City. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Kornovian economy, worth 36.9 trillion Seras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,506 Seras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', and the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kornovia's national animal is the Kornovian Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Kornovia is ranked 271,649th in the world and 240th in Conch Kingdom for Largest Black Market, with 64.4 billion Standard Monetary Units.
