The Community of Koiho is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Executive Committee with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.432 billion Koiho 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anastas. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Koiho economy, worth a remarkable 1,228 trillion rskonas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 74,791 rskonas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are pillars of society, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, high school bands practice by moonlight, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koiho's national animal is the river salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Koiho is ranked 253,083^rd in the world and 47^th in The Social Liberal Union for Most Primitive, scoring -161.77 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
