The Rogue Nation of Kolkuttajat is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mörkö with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.207 billion Kolkuttajatians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Defense and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 33.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kolkuttajatian economy, worth 595 trillion rices 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 Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an impressive 114,420 rices, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Books are so highly regarded in Kolkuttajat that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, urban parents tell their children that the family car went to a farm upstate, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime is almost non-existent. Kolkuttajat's national animal is the mongoose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nysä.

Kolkuttajat is ranked 57,615th in the world and 756th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 70 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
