The Democratic States of Korvspad is a mammoth, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.568 billion Korvspadians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Korvspadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,281 trillion Gruses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 169,329 Gruses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mollycoddled youths run the country, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and factories grind to a halt every time there is an election. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korvspad's national animal is the Eremitkräfta, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Korvspad is ranked 281,935^th in the world and 451^st in Starlight for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,118.86 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
