The Democratic States of Koros is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by First Speaker with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.739 billion Korosians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nîkihk. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Korosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,309 trillion Koros Dollars 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 169,196 Koros Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget, and veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koros's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aboriginal Korosian Animism.

Koros is ranked 265,011^th in the world and 3,421^st in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
