The Idol of Kotoha is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Kotoha Tanaka with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.535 billion Kotohans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akiruno. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Kotohan economy, worth a remarkable 5,096 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 308,239 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and all animals are equal but some are more equal than others. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kotoha's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kotoha is ranked 245,938th in the world and 9th in 765 Production for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,947.74 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
