The Blessed Outcome of Kothica is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 21.364 billion Kothicans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 62.8%.

The all-consuming Kothican economy, worth a remarkable 1,915 trillion somethings a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 89,658 somethings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

No animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, the fattest folk in Kothica look to be the happiest ones, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kothica's national animal is the something else, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kothica is ranked 211,320^th in the world and 1^st in Entropy for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.13 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
