The Republic of Kivu 44 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.391 billion Kivu 44ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.0%.
The thriving Kivu 44ian economy, worth 187 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Woodchip Exports, Tourism, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 78,578 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.
There are no longer any roads less traveled, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, singing in public is only allowed if you are singing the praise of the Motherland, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kivu 44's national animal is the sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Kivu 44 is ranked 283,721st in the world and 175th in Fukuoka for Most Stationary, with 5.4219062522 days.
