The Rogue Nation of Kirkwall Coterie is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, cynical population of 22.939 billion Kirkwall Coterieans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Education and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.9%.

The powerhouse Kirkwall Coteriean economy, worth 733 trillion Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 31,959 Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 90,213 per year while the poor average 9,063, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, all recreational drugs are legal, and a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kirkwall Coterie's national animal is the Coyote, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kirkwall Coterie is ranked 254,343rd in the world and 13th in Thedas for Lowest Crime Rates, with 49.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
