The Incorporated States of Couch Kingdom is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by King Koil with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.834 billion Couch Kingdomians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loveseat. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The powerhouse Couch Kingdomian economy, worth 656 trillion Plugged Nickels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 83,827 Plugged Nickels, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 349,880 per year while the poor average 13,107, a ratio of 26.7 to 1.

Tourists are flocking to the newly-built MeteorLand family resort, anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, nihilistic thrill-seekers claim that suicide by roller coaster is the ultimate life experience, and muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Couch Kingdom's national animal is the Couch Potato, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Couch Kingdom is ranked 182,678^th in the world and 10^th in Save Our Planet for Largest Black Market, with 657 billion Standard Monetary Units.
