The Glorious Dominion of Convaria is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sovereign Luetred Nylray with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, avant-garde cinema, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.127 billion Convarians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wrocksall. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Convarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,399 trillion Rikes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 258,952 Rikes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 980,600 per year while the poor average 47,524, a ratio of 20.6 to 1.

Beloved cartoon icon Mikkey Aurochs writhes after eating Rikes, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, and music award shows include surprise polygraph segments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Convaria's national animal is the Aurochs, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Convaria is ranked 8,803rd in the world and 15th in Fifth Empire for Safest, scoring 120.99 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
