The Nomadic Peoples of Kochevnia is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.157 billion Kochevnians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tovetsk. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kochevnian economy, worth 753 trillion Karas 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 122,415 Karas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weekends are spent tilting at windmills, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, and tourists are forbidden to enter Native Kochevnian lands. Crime is totally unknown. Kochevnia's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kochevnia is ranked 282,983rd in the world and 202nd in Thaecia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -13.44 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
