The Community of Kouvola Commune is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 788 million Kouvola Communeans 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kouvola. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kouvola Communean economy, worth 55.6 trillion Grains a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 70,586 Grains, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, and the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kouvola Commune's national animal is the deer ked, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kouvola Commune is ranked 27,807^th in the world and 407^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 230.67 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
