The Dorvaniin Empire of Korolk is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Serimys with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.053 billion Dorvaniin 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koltyrnak. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Dorvaniin economy, worth a remarkable 2,170 trillion Kurzegans a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 215,915 Kurzegans, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,394,279 per year while the poor average 13,463, a ratio of 103 to 1.

Puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash, nobody draws smiley faces on receipts anymore, slavers are real nutters, and dentists routinely perform open heart surgery. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Korolk's national animal is the Dorvan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of the Underworld.

Korolk is ranked 175,285th in the world and 99th in Institute of Cellulose for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
