The Democratic Republic of The Superior Kivu is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.426 billion Superior Kivuans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.9%.

The very strong Superior Kivuan economy, worth 160 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,156 Marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 289,273 per year while the poor average 9,545, a ratio of 30.3 to 1.

The government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, and the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Superior Kivu's national animal is the Wolverine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Superior Kivu is ranked 147,335^th in the world and 42^nd in Fukuoka for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
