The Republic of Kivu 26 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, enslaved workforce, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.575 billion Kivu 26ians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kivu 26ian economy, worth 242 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,332 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 393,607 per year while the poor average 14,757, a ratio of 26.7 to 1.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kivu 26's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kivu 26 is ranked 220,255^th in the world and 168^th in Fukuoka for Safest, scoring 29.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
