The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and only “organics” are permitted to be citizens.

Military
Notable for its compulsory military service.
Economy
A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Information Technology. Roads are often backed up with round-the-clock construction crews, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, CDs are regularly copy-protected, and skate parks can be found in every city. The average income tax rate is 33%, but much higher for the wealthy. The national currency is the Kokian Pad.
Demographics
Minority children spend hours bussing to school miles away from home, voting has become a nightmare since everyone keeps selecting “None of the above”, child labor has been outlawed, and meat-eating is frowned upon.
Culture
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koku's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation. The elephant is a symbol of huge strength and stature, wisdom and courage. In heraldry, it is a very appropriate bearing for those who have distinguished themselves in the Orient.
