The Collaboration of Convocation is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Butt Sexington with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 1.131 billion Convocationians 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 Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Underground. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Convocationian economy, worth 81.6 trillion Golden nuts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 72,130 Golden nuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, the fattest folk in Convocation look to be the happiest ones, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime is totally unknown. Convocation's national animal is the Sparkling Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Convocation is ranked 120,709^th in the world and 1,189^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 74.21 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
