The Dictatorship of Kogos is a mid-sized, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, enforced nudity, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 62 million Kogosians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Kogosian economy, worth 1.04 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 16,834 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, a soldier's body is a temple, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kogos's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kogos is ranked 258,363^rd in the world and 12,645^th in Osiris for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -8 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
