The Republic of Kavren is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 381 million Kavrenians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kavrenian economy, worth 15.4 trillion francs a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 40,410 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Kavrenian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, and people talk about things being better when men were men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kavren's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kavren is ranked 4,698^th in the world and 3^rd in Kryndel for Highest Drug Use, scoring 371.56 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
