Our entire nation is just one large prison camp spanning for well over 20 million kilometers squared.
An ex-soviet prison camp network that has grown into an entire country of its own.

Red prison zones are controlled by the old state bureaucracy and police while black zones are controlled by the inmates themselves through a direct democracy with minimal bureaucratic oversight.

Due to the popularity of high noon as an ideal time for showdowns, enough scheduling snafus have occurred that the government has banned showdowns between the hours of 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM.

every year at the Oaledonian Grand Festival strange lights and sounds occur over the huge city of Aduio, which was abandoned 60 years ago because of a reactor melt down in a nuclear facility which killed thousands. The reason for the strange lights and sounds above the city is unknown, but it does happen at 2:37 AM, the exact time the reactor meltdown occurred... and people that venture into the city during this time begin hearing grand pianos, claim to see dead relatives, start having horrible nightmares and sleep paralysis, and are found dead one week later in the abandoned city. It has become such a problem that Oaledonia has enacted a military blockade around the city in order to stop people from going inside, trespassers are killed on sight.

It is expected of many outsiders slightly familiar with anarcho-capitalism to figure that the currency used in Sungai Pusat is gold, silver or some other rare material. However, most banks that issue currency adopt a fiat currency instead due to money usually being used to exchange goods and services around rather than shiny bits of metal.

The king of New Cochin, Felix IV, loves to hoard wine, and often many wine bottles end up in his private cellar deep beneath the palace. However, once every year in April 13th, the cellar is opened to the public and they are allowed to taste some of the wine, which is celebrated all over the country as Wine Hoarder's Day.

The Presidential Palace was built without bathrooms, so when indoor plumbing really became popular, they turned 75% of the closets into bathrooms. So now the presidential palace has 23 bathrooms. That equals out to roughly 5 bathrooms on each floor.
