OverviewFactbookPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Democratic Republic of Kerkopa is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lucas Alonso with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.417 billion Kerkopans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cherask. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kerkopan economy, worth 156 trillion Kereps a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,300 Kereps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Twelve Steps To Logging Off is the most popular mobile download, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, national chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kerkopa's national animal is the Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kerkopa is ranked 14,353rd in the world and 6th in Crimson Spire for Smartest Citizens, with 75.62 quips per hour.
