The Anthrostate of Korwin is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Consul MakIlle with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.144 billion Korwinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashkiln. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Korwinian economy, worth a remarkable 4,929 trillion liens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 287,528 liens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, and the image of Korwin's future is just a picture from last century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korwin's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Korwin is ranked 20,979^th in the world and 24^th in Forest for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,962.28 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
