The Republic of Kosinsky District is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 595 million Kosinsky Districtians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kosinsky Districtian economy, worth 48.0 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 80,628 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Large sections of Kosinsky District have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, and starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kosinsky District's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kosinsky District is ranked 67,847^th in the world and 86^th in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,448.59 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
