Kivasek, officially the Commune of Kivasek, is a anarchist multi-collective in the Middle Continent bordered by Pine Bay to the northwest, opening up to the larger Alyeskan Sea. Kivasek is of average size, comparable to the Federation of Lauchenoiria. There are four major rivers within Kivasek: the Pine River, the Mud River, the Wolfound River, and the Bear River, the last of which connects Kivasek and Bears Armed via waterway. Along the Southern border of Kivasek, the Yopas Hills roughly run from the mouth of the Mud River, following the southern border closely before curving northward and stopping halfway along the western border. According to the Kivaskian Office for Population, there are currently 27,344,829 people living within the collectives.

Declaring full independence from the Sieghard Empire in 857, Kivasek was under a domestic monarchy continuously until 1790. What follwed was nearly 130 years of civil and social strife before the Social Contract of 1921 (also called the Judge Contract) was written and ratified by an 87% vote in favour. Essentially an in-name only union of seven collectives, Kivasek is heavily decentralized with most power given to individual towns and cities. The collective has no form of substantive government, opting instead to have city councils that are elected trimonthly meet in the historical capital of Liberigo. While all collectives are, in theory, equal to one another, the collective with the highest populations, Kivas and Yopas, exert economic dominance over the other five: Vokas, Kazorek, Chemorek, Ultza, and Baszha.

Despite being a society heavily influenced by libertarian thought, there is also a culture of cooperation and societal advancement that make the collectives work together to make one another stronger. Following the most radical forms of leftist libertarian thought, Kivasek has abolished currency and operates on the motto "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need". As a result, Kivasek is known to have the most advanced public transportation system in the world with electric trains, buses, and river ferries being common means of transportation through the collectives with bicycles being free to borrow at stations. Public healthcare is also known to be among the world's most accessible, with people often getting immediate care for their ailments and injuries, though the waiting times in larger cities can go on for hours, despite the best efforts of the hospital staff.

Seeing themselves as the prime example of communism thriving in the modern era and believing others can follow their example, Kivasek is known to print out leaflets by the thousands and send them out to nearby countries, much to the annoyance of their respective leaders. As well as advocating for leftist thinking, Kivasek often gives material and personnel support to left-leaning secessionist movements with the hope that the ensuing freedom will encourage the population to embrace anarchist communism or, at the very least, left libertarianism. Although fueled by a great amount of political fervor, Kivasek's arms and volunteer army are often thought of as outdated and unfit for modern warfare in an open battlefield, often opting for guerilla operations.
