The Republic of Kosova is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vjosa Osmani with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.731 billion Kosovans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pristina. The average income tax rate is 53.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kosovan economy, worth 344 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,361 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, and going on a diet invalidates your passport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kosova's national animal is the Balkan lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kosova is ranked 277,335^th in the world and 6,036^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.59 flags saluted per person per day.
