The Dutch Democratic Republic of Knootoss is a post-modern developed democracy on the European continent, inhabited by a highly educated population of almost 3 billion. Its territories encompass the Netherlands and several reclaimed land projects (called ‘polders’) in the North Sea. The nation is noted for these huge ‘polders’ which consist most of the new land, giving room for expansion while the historic territories can remain relatively untouched.
Knootoss is noted by many foreigners for its liberal social policies including legal drugs and prostitution, and is well-known as a gambling paradise. The open and multicultural nation is used to the many visiting foreigners, including non-humans. The Knootian people are peaceful to the point of pacifism and oriented on free and open trade. There is consensus on the advantages of the free market, yet the government regulates business, to a point. The nation is run by coalition governments. Currently a conservative/liberal coalition is in power under the Elvish Prime Minister Galadriël Táralóm nos Círdan.
The DDR is part of the ‘Knootian Federation’, which includes dependent areas which have a great deal of autonomy. Ale-Yarok (or "green leaf") is a protectorate in Israel while Knootian Colombia is a sector assigned to the Knootians in a Baron/Knootian mission to restore order to the nation that was plagued by insurgency.

English not-so-literal translation: Anthem of the Dutch Democratic Republic of Knootoss
Bounded together in freedom and peace - we are Knootians!
One man for all, and all men for one - during the Shadow War.
Bounded together, one single future!
Building along in this beautiful land
Eternal plains stretch out in our polders
Human contraptions guarding our land
Living in freedom and equality
Welfare and justice go hand in hand
The real heroes labour in freedom
Together we shall stand
Original Dutch text: Volkslied van de Nederlandse Democratische Republiek Knootoss
Één volk tezamen in vrijheid en vrede - wij zijn Knootianen!
Één man voor allen, en allen voor één - tijdens de schaduwoorlog
Want voor de toekomst zijn wij samen
Bouwen we mee aan dit mooie land
Eeuwige vlaktes, in onze polders
Dijken en molens beschermen ons land
Leven in vrijheid en gelijkheid
Welvaart en recht gaan hier hand in hand
De echte helden werken in vrede
Samen houden wij gestand
