The Communist Worker's Republic of Konomoa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The People with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.266 billion Kommies are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Konomoa City. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Konomoan economy, worth 148 trillion Lomes 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 led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 117,281 Lomes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drive-by spoilers are an increasingly common crime, the fattest folk in Konomoa look to be the happiest ones, light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, and bris parties are all the rage. Crime is totally unknown. Konomoa's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Konomoa is ranked 188,845^th in the world and 243^rd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 145.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
