The Protektorat of Kossacka is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Symon Petliura with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.444 billion Kossackans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyiv. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.1%.

The all-consuming Kossackan economy, worth 342 trillion Złoties a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,319 Złoties, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 405,974 per year while the poor average 16,086, a ratio of 25.2 to 1.

High school bands practice by moonlight, pitchforks and torches are coming back into fashion, immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, and Orthodox Christianity has been named as Kossacka's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kossacka's national animal is the Steppe Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Kossacka is ranked 56,880^th in the world and 10^th in Sphere of Conservative Republics for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 18,376.14 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
