The Transcontinental Republic of Kirverda is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.777 billion Kirverdans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kirverdan economy, worth a remarkable 1,512 trillion copper saars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,456 copper saars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, the government is spending billions of copper saars on helping citizens find spiritual enlightenment, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kirverda's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kirverda is ranked 279,087^th in the world and 40^th in Land for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 36.69 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
