The Environmental Republic of Koaland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Travis with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 44.667 billion Koaliards 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 medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The enormous but inefficient Koalish economy, worth a remarkable 4,609 trillion Kolds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 103,186 Kolds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koaland's national animal is the koala, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Koaland is ranked 62,058th in the world and 1st in Greater Koaland for Most Developed, scoring 73.59 on the Human Development Index.
