The Democratic Republic of Koharu Kusumi is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Koharu with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 20.337 billion Koharus 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kusumi Town. The average income tax rate is 76.6%.

The thriving Koharu Kusumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,656 trillion Deneroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 81,452 Deneroes, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Forecasts predict rains of loose lead and mortar shells for the next six weeks, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Eagleball fields, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Koharu Kusumi after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and failure to pay the thrice-daily homage to the divine Koharu is punishable by death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koharu Kusumi's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Anime.

Koharu Kusumi is ranked 49,169^th in the world and 4^th in Black Mesa Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 40.78 kickbacks per hour.
