The Democratic States of Korvspad is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.593 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 1,290 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. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 169,990 Gruses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hay has been added to school cafeteria menus, politicians no longer click with dating app matches, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and conspiracy theorists allege Korvspad City's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols. 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 1,869^th in the world and 12^th in Starlight for Nicest Citizens, with 72.25 average smiles per day.
