The Kabushiki Kaisha of The KoZ is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Lord KoZ with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 21.602 billion KoZians 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 minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osaka. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient KoZian economy, worth an astonishing 11,650 trillion KoZ-kokus a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 539,344 KoZ-kokus, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,568,953 per year while the poor average 31,394, a ratio of 113 to 1.

The government is avowedly atheist, euthanasia is legal, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The KoZ's national animal is the white elk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is a major religion.

The KoZ is ranked 273,450th in the world and 5th in Feudal Japan for Most Politically Free, scoring 20.17 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
