The Disputed Territories of Great Koeli is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 310 million Great Koelians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.3%.

The very strong Great Koelian economy, worth 23.2 trillion piloes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 74,827 piloes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The end of communism came with retail rather than revolution, schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings, and the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Koeli's national animal is the pigeon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Great Koeli is ranked 38,087^th in the world and 189^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 106.35 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
