The Republic of Kugo is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its digital currency, vat-grown people, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 2.984 billion Kugoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kugoan economy, worth 429 trillion Okes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,856 Okes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, and the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kugo's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kugo is ranked 19,028th in the world and 1,386th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
