The Federal Republic of Koantu is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.628 billion Koans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 9.9%.

The strong Koantuan economy, worth 101 trillion Koans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 62,205 Koans, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, there's no representation without taxation, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and the death penalty has been reintroduced. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koantu's national animal is the Caiman, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Koantu is ranked 163,184^th in the world and 120^th in Lands End for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 449.33 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
