The Special Fiefdom of Kohr is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Benevolent Overlord F'Earstel with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, ban on automobiles, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.682 billion Kohrians 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 Defense, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Exponds. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but underdeveloped Kohrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,053 trillion Peter's Fleshes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 56,378 Peter's Fleshes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Benevolent Overlord F'Earstel in ermine and velvet garb, serial killers are the country's biggest import, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, and owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kohr's national animal is the Wild Ginger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Kohr is ranked 69,925th in the world and 15th in Taijitu for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
