The Black Soviet Republic of Kiwannis is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Asani Okonjo with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, devout population of 10.558 billion Kiwannsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uhuru. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kiwannsian economy, worth 563 trillion Panthars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 53,344 Panthars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, investigative journalism into politicians' misbehaviour has abruptly ended, and new legislators take a week-long class entitled "Keeping Your Job: How to Avoid Offending Asani Okonjo". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kiwannis's national animal is the Black Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wakanda.

Kiwannis is ranked 148,182^nd in the world and 29^th in Tarkin for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 757.38 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
