The Imperious Autarchy of Kolasithar is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Nils Kralz with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 21.877 billion Kolaks are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kothvanjund. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Kolak economy, worth an astonishing 10,317 trillion Kroths a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 471,604 Kroths, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,996,858 per year while the poor average 71,952, a ratio of 27.8 to 1.

Cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor. Crime is totally unknown. Kolasithar's national animal is the Mammoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kolasithar is ranked 4,761^st in the world and 1^st in Hyperborean Thule for Most Corrupt Governments, with 232.04 kickbacks per hour.
