The Meritocratic Utopia of Ko-oren is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Akiranar Nembus with an iron fist, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, cynical population of 5.563 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Law & Order and the Environment are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ko-oren City. The average income tax rate is 97%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam, nude art is becoming wildly popular, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ko-oren's national animal is the Dragonfly, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Ko-orenite Animism, and its currency is the Korona.

Ko-oren is ranked 16th in Atlantian Oceania and 5,326th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 54 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
