The People's Commonwealth of Covarria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Amelia Hartyer with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.565 billion Covarrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Covardon. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Covarrian economy, worth 262 trillion covarrian pounds 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 102,388 covarrian pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, and shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Covarria's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Covarria is ranked 135,587^th in the world and 272^nd in Carcassonne for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,708.58 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
