The Democratic Republic of Kinver is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.197 billion Kinverians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The powerhouse Kinverian economy, worth 110 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is 92,008 pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 393,734 per year while the poor average 13,783, a ratio of 28.6 to 1.

Students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, news headlines usually include p-values, a milk bath costs more than bathing in money, and wealthy students ride to school past mendicant dropouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Kinver's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kinver is ranked 169,007^th in the world and 7,373^rd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
