The Earth Empire of Kuvirastan is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.542 billion Kuvirastanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.4%.
The very strong Kuvirastanian economy, worth 188 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is 53,237 rupees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 157,452 per year while the poor average 14,143, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.
It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, elections have been outlawed, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and anyone interested in the stock market is investigated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kuvirastan's national animal is the badger mole, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Kuvirastan is ranked 27,176th in the world and 26th in Africa for Most Authoritarian, with 2,603.77 milliStalins.
