The Evanescent Wake of Koskalherria is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lizzy Warden with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 33.541 billion Koskalherrians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vanish. The average income tax rate is 12.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Koskalherrian economy, worth a remarkable 5,083 trillion erasers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 151,554 erasers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Entomologists flock to Vanish for its remarkable gadfly population, many say faith is a crutch for those who can't move forward, government contracted tax collectors often 'accidentally' over-charge citizens and skim the surplus, and endocrinology is a rapidly growing field of study. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Koskalherria's national animal is the orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is theWave.

Koskalherria is ranked 10,676^th in the world and 3^rd in Oahu for Smartest Citizens, with 92.46 quips per hour.
