The United Socialist States of Koster Land is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by James Kost with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, digital currency, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.372 billion Kosterians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koster Land City. The average income tax rate is 88.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kosterian economy, worth 414 trillion Kosteuros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 122,784 Kosteuros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, time flies when you're not having fun, and space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Koster Land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koster Land's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Koster Land is ranked 16,625^th in the world and 106^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Patriotic, with 51.7 flags saluted per person per day.
