The Socialist Republic of Kavanos is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Daihai with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.806 billion Kavaneses are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalit City. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kavanese economy, worth a remarkable 2,860 trillion KVN Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,216 KVN Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways, the past is set in stone, all facts are created equal, and entomologists flock to Kalit City for its remarkable gadfly population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kavanos's national animal is the firefox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Kavanos is ranked 12,419^th in the world and 281^st in The East Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,691.99 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
