The Theocracy of Kolink is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.529 billion Kolinkians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kolinkian economy, worth 199 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,008 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kolink's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kolink is ranked 176,476^th in the world and 2^nd in Peoples Republic for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 25.09 Effective Tax Rate.
