The Socialist People's Republic of Kogure is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by General Secretary Sun Taejin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.715 billion Kogureans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tongdo. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kogurean economy, worth 616 trillion ryus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,756 ryus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kogure's national animal is the crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kogure is ranked 154,271^st in the world and 1^st in Solanaria for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,364.76 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
