The United States of Koboldtopia is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.671 billion Koboldtopians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Koboldtopian economy, worth 223 trillion kernals a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 47,766 kernals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koboldtopia's national animal is the kobold, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Koboldtopia is ranked 28,995^th in the world and 507^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
