The United States of Kohili is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, enslaved workforce, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 2.587 billion Kohilians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hukija. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Kohilian economy, worth 725 trillion Hujs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 280,410 Hujs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,468,354 per year while the poor average 4,650, a ratio of 530 to 1.
Only the richest get to see out of their windows, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, the roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away, and toxic smog is dismissed as the populace just "letting off steam". Crime is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kohili's national animal is the Avali, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Kohili is ranked 8,476th in the world and 94th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 72.93 flags saluted per person per day.
