The Free Palestine of Aina Kuokoa is a massive, genial nation, ruled by pyrocxrals with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.605 billion Nga Manu Iti enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Entirely Bird-populated City. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Manu Iti economy, worth 301 trillion Tupes 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 115,727 Tupes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, and signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aina Kuokoa's national animal is the Budgie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Birdhism.

Aina Kuokoa is ranked 228,661^st in the world and 3,674^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring zero on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
