The Nomadic Peoples of Kochevnia is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.237 billion Kochevnians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tovetsk. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Kochevnian economy, worth 759 trillion Karas 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 121,705 Karas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, firebombing politicians' offices has become a common way of expressing dissatisfaction, nuclear reactors are held together with party string and Hubba Bubba, and tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Kochevnia Blood Tithe. Crime is totally unknown. Kochevnia's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kochevnia is ranked 28,505^th in the world and 54^th in Thaecia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 227.2 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
