The Republic of Kivu 24 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, parental licensing program, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.59 billion Kivu 24ians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kivu 24ian economy, worth 257 trillion rubles a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,294 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kivu 24's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kivu 24 is ranked 264,781^st in the world and 163^rd in Fukuoka for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.03 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
