The Defender of Kivu 7 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.814 billion Kivu 7ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kivu 7ian economy, worth 245 trillion rupees a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,300 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, the Kivu 7ian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kivu 7's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kivu 7 is ranked 221,369^th in the world and 276^th in United Democratic Nations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.84 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
