The Republic of Kossmil is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 479 million Kossmilians 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 Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 43.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kossmilian economy, worth 37.3 trillion Kossmil Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 77,848 Kossmil Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kossmil's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kossmil is ranked 2,883^rd in the world and 2^nd in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 263.37 Bank.
