Location: The North Pacific

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Queendom of KokoPuppyLand is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Carlos Spicyweiner with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.299 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Public Transport are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of KokoPuppyLand City. The average income tax rate is 47%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, abortions are routinely performed in KokoPuppyLand's hospitals, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The KokoPuppyLand City Times is sold out, and houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KokoPuppyLand's national animal is the Golden Puppy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the PuppyKiss.

KokoPuppyLand is ranked 4,165th in The North Pacific and 89,182nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
