The Federation of Corven is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, daily referendums, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working population of 222 million Corvenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Corvenian economy, worth 14.0 trillion Corvents a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,978 Corvents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The tightness of border controls in Corven leave a little to be desired, late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, politicians have been known to swim in pools filled with Corvents, and bike rage is all the rage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corven's national animal is the Black Dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Corven is ranked 172,179^th in the world and 3,318^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,314.46 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
