The Confederacy of Kotzellach is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.742 billion Kotzellachians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kotzellach City. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kotzellachian economy, worth a remarkable 1,375 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 117,114 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign planes and migratory birds are shot down as spies, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, and the government is giving peace a chance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kotzellach's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kotzellach is ranked 308,780^th in the world and 47^th in Tumbraverse for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 22.34 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
