The Republic of Koochiching is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Edward H Loll with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 25.49 billion Koochichingians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wahpeton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Koochichingian economy, worth a remarkable 3,327 trillion Pistoles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 130,528 Pistoles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 517,471 per year while the poor average 22,241, a ratio of 23.3 to 1.

For just a few extra Pistoles Koochichingians can get new driving records with their new cars, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, eminent domain has been abolished, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime is totally unknown. Koochiching's national animal is the Flying Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Koochiching is ranked 34,662^nd in the world and 33^rd in Anarchy for Most Beautiful Environments, with 788.39 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
