The Republic of Kulochia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical population of 586 million Kulochians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hegali. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Kulochian economy, worth 55.9 trillion Lebers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 95,446 Lebers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Players panic as they discover the newest chain can reset their populations and even delete their nations (Kulochia has found 2 easter eggs), sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, and primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kulochia's national animal is the Kulochian lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kulochia is ranked 312,565^th in the world and 3^rd in Afghanistan for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -11.05 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
