The Kingdom of Coquistan is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Leader with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, ban on automobiles, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 12.868 billion Coquistanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Cots. The average income tax rate is 32.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Coquistanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,852 trillion Coquitos a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 221,707 Coquitos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets, officials insist there's no need to feel down about falling safety standards, cruise ships arrive in their dozens to watch cruise missile tests, and elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Coquistan's national animal is the Great Kiskadee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Followers of Kiskadee.

Coquistan is ranked 2,868^th in the world and 1^st in The Empire of Kierania for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 77,528.28 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
