The Commonwealth of Kogurigu is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 814 million Koguriguans 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Koguriguan economy, worth 62.2 trillion Shotures a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,432 Shotures, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Bearball fields, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks. Crime is totally unknown. Kogurigu's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kogurigu is ranked 36,475^th in the world and 63^rd in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 191.32 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
