The Multifunctional Nomadics of Koekeloerders is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Everyone with an even hand, and notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate population of 7.817 billion 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, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Equality. 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.

Businesses are scrambling to adapt to the government's mandate that 'time and measurement no longer exist', prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, kids laugh off vandalism and arson as "just fun", and Koekeloerders is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is totally unknown. Koekeloerders's national animal is the kip, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the eieren.

Koekeloerders is ranked 48th in Africa and 100,457th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
