The Ko-orenite Constellation

Population6.12 billion

AnimalDragonfly

The Commonwealth of The Ko-orenite Constellation is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.12 billion Constellationers 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 58.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ko-orenite Constellationian economy, worth 681 trillion Koronas a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,305 Koronas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The Ko-orenite Constellation's first free elections in recent memory have been successfully concluded, mountains of VHS tapes of police actions are stacking up in the National Library, people who have lived their entire lives in The Ko-orenite Constellation are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, and artists attempt to convince the Hardship Fund that their unmade bed is a masterpiece. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ko-orenite Constellation's national animal is the Dragonfly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Ko-orenite Constellation is ranked 287,026th in the world and 60th in Esportiva for Most Cultured, scoring 54 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
