The Community of Kouvola Commune is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 703 million Kouvola Communeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kouvola. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kouvola Communean economy, worth 43.6 trillion Grains a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 62,032 Grains, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kouvola Commune's national animal is the deer ked, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
