The Federal Republic of Kazovia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Lev Derevinsky with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.733 billion Kazovians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minov. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Kazovian economy, worth a remarkable 2,188 trillion Kazovian Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 171,853 Kazovian Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Claims adjusters are uselessly vague, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away, and prosecutors routinely call transplant doctors as 'expert witnesses' in burglary cases. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kazovia's national animal is the wildcat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kazovian Nationalism.

Kazovia is ranked 4,374^th in the world and 1^st in Kali Yuga for Highest Food Quality, scoring 217.21 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
