The Commonwealth of Kayowa is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 366 million Kayowans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kayowa City. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kayowan economy, worth 30.8 trillion mbois a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,172 mbois, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury, jail house rock has been replaced with jail house golden oldies, election debates consists mostly of two grey suits arguing over how to best preserve the status quo, and transgender and agender are on the education agenda. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kayowa's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kayowa is ranked 31,664^th in the world and 1,432^nd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 178.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
