The Conglomerate Prefecture of Kookand is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Governor Dorde with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.91 billion Kookandians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Birgenof. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kookandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,387 trillion Jenstar Ancíres 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 175,452 Jenstar Ancíres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is in perpetual campaign mode, octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, and the government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kookand's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Darteism.

Kookand is ranked 274,439^th in the world and 5^th in Konteka People Organization for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.94 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
