The Former Osiris Pharaoh of Kothles is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 13.186 billion Kothlesians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.6%.

The strong Kothlesian economy, worth 878 trillion somethings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,586 somethings, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,488 per year while the poor average 11,741, a ratio of 22.0 to 1.

Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, and naval armadas borrow their formations from synchronized swimming handbooks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kothles's national animal is the something else, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kothles is ranked 74,870th in the world and 4th in The Beech Beach House for Most Stationary, with 628.8828266814 days.
