The Democratic States of Koros is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.604 billion Korosians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nîkihk. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Korosian economy, worth 449 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,645 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only thing that can pin down a "superhero" is red tape, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, and visiting the best Korosian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koros's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Koros is ranked 5,228^th in the world and 153^rd in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 46.9 average smiles per day.
