The People's Republic of Konewa is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Saulien with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 7.225 billion Konewans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basalt. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Konewan economy, worth a remarkable 1,011 trillion Moeras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,009 Moeras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Konewa, Saulien is frequently seen begging critics to stop insulting the government, and playing card suits are sold separately. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Konewa's national animal is the Kiwi, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Konewa is ranked 136,096^th in the world and 723^rd in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,106.56 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
