The Queen's State of Kooringa is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 20.431 billion Kooringans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Kooringan economy, worth 452 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 22,157 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, elections have been outlawed, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kooringa's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kooringa is ranked 82,141^st in the world and 48^th in 0000 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
