The Shot Through the Heart of Kaoss is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Jon Bovi with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.847 billion KaossiKs enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leedle Beach. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Kaossian economy, worth a remarkable 2,483 trillion JonBons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 193,317 JonBons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, and the art of conversation has been rediscovered. Crime is totally unknown. Kaoss's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is PolyNecroTheism.

Kaoss is ranked 290,262^nd in the world and 132^nd in Spiritus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -28.28 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
