The Defender of Kivu 6 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its closed borders, aversion to nipples, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.366 billion Kivu 6ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 60.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kivu 6ian economy, worth 606 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,871 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, surgeons walk out of theatres more often than prima donna actors, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and the sun rises an hour later on border communities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kivu 6's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kivu 6 is ranked 49,487th in the world and 1st in New Andreyland for Most Patriotic, with 33.78 flags saluted per person per day.
