The United States of Kohili is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 2.601 billion Kohilians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hukija. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Kohilian economy, worth 729 trillion Hujs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 280,410 Hujs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,468,354 per year while the poor average 4,650, a ratio of 530 to 1.

Only the richest get to see out of their windows, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, the roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away, and toxic smog is dismissed as the populace just "letting off steam". Crime is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kohili's national animal is the Avali, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kohili is ranked 107,227th in the world and 1,000th in the Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,284.99 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
