The Socialist Republic of Kavanos is a massive, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.993 billion Kavaneses 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 large 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 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kavanese economy, worth 859 trillion KVN Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 172,240 KVN Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, and soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kavanos's national animal is the firefox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kavanos is ranked 145,295^th in the world and 6,427^th in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,048.91 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
