The Conglomerate Prefecture of Kookand is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Governor Dorde with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, digital currency, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.323 billion Kookandians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Birgenof. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Kookandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,378 trillion Jenstar Ancíres 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 178,500 Jenstar Ancíres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals identify as innocent, preservative manufacturers are told to put a lid on it, students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic, and schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kookand's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Darteism.

Kookand is ranked 286,857^th in the world and 9^th in Konteka People Organization for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -14 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
