The Colony of Convar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Thomas E with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.623 billion Convarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Subterranean Citadel of Convar City. The average income tax rate is 14.0%.

The strong Convarian economy, worth 97.8 trillion Nosvos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 60,275 Nosvos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, and politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Convar's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Convar is ranked 44,313^th in the world and 1^st in Project for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,082.6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
