Kooey Kooey Kooey is a fictional country in the DC Universe.

Kooey Kooey Kooey is an island in the South Pacific. It was featured prominently in Justice League International as written by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis. It first appeared in Justice League America #33 (January 1989) The island was revealed to be a sentient creature that would occasionally decide to uproot itself and wander, though that aspect was not explored. It is a spoof of Krakoa, a Marvel Comics living island created by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum that first appeared in Giant-Size X-Men #1.

Originally inhabited by natives, the Chief of Kooey Kooey Kooey decided to send many of the young men and women of his village to Ivy League colleges in America. Herb, one of the favored students, spends six years at Brooklyn College, a four-year school (as Herb explains, "The language requirement really threw me.") Herb, with the skeptical encouragement of the Chief, sought out the Justice League and brokered an embassy deal between them and the island.

Later, the Green Lantern Kilowog, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold construct an ill-fated casino and resort known as Club JLI. Transport was arranged through standard-issue Justice League teleport tubes. Though seemingly successful, a near meta-human ability to count cards by the villain Big Sir (assisted by the villain Major Disaster) broke the bank. Club JLI went bankrupt just as Aquaman arrived on the island to warn of the island's awareness. It turns out the two entities know each other. Before this threat could be studied, the island uprooted and swam some hundred miles away. This action endangers the life of Lord, Huntress, and Ice, who are temporarily stranded in the middle of the ocean. Major Disaster stops the island's movement with a well-placed, non-destructive volcanic eruption.
