The State of Democratic Koyro is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Paramount Leader Ohanka Jon Bak-su with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.946 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Revolutionary City. The average income tax rate is 17%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Military spending recently hit a new high, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, and a vast monorail network carries people all over the country. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Democratic Koyro's national animal is the Grass Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is State-Enforced Atheism, and its currency is the Token.

Democratic Koyro is ranked 21st in Esquarium and 19,913th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 3 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
