The Seafood Paradise of KohrAr is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 18.351 billion KohrArians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient KohrArian economy, worth an astonishing 14,976 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 816,134 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 7,515,387 per year while the poor average 9,000, a ratio of 835 to 1.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Dollar charge on their phone bill, many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight, visiting dignitaries often take advantage of strict reparation policies by stubbing their toes, and warfare increasingly resembles a video game. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. KohrAr's national animal is the oyster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

KohrAr is ranked 370th in the world and 10th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 334.14 quips per hour.
