The Republic of Kore Space is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.281 billion Kore Spaceans 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Kore Spacean economy, worth 307 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 93,707 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents dread their examinations more than their children, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, and the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kore Space's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kore Space is ranked 135,199^th in the world and 6,861^st in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
