The Anthrostate of Korwin is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Consul MakIlle with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.166 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 4,944 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 288,024 liens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All footpaths have tollbooths, "Consul MakIlle got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa. 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 10,308^th in the world and 94^th in Forest for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.36 percentage of bribes refused.
