The Republic of Kosamia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Chairman Koch with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.335 billion Kosamians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glacia. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The powerhouse Kosamian economy, worth a remarkable 2,147 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,056 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, officer recruitment and police brutality have reached an all-time high, and foreign nationals are widely distrusted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kosamia's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Kosamia is ranked 116,618th in the world and 2nd in Arctic Alliance for Most Stationary, with 320.76214193432 days.
