The Empire of KouHu

“Kill to live”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of KouHu is a huge, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 459 million KouHuans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming KouHuan economy, worth 48.4 trillion points a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,469 points, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, the nation's "surprisingly chill" military is renowned for its horrendous war crimes, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. KouHu's national animal is the pigeon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

KouHu is ranked 247,052^nd in the world and 208^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.87 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
