The Multifunctional Nomadics of Koekeloerders is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Everyone with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9.968 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zaventem. 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.

Public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, Kip is one of the most popular forenames in Koekeloerders, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, and parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads. Crime is relatively low. 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 25th in Africa and 30,491st in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 5 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
