The Republic of Cobalia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mr President with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 28.232 billion Cobalians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cobaliaburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Cobalian economy, worth a remarkable 5,765 trillion libres a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 204,224 libres, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.
Parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, economics is a shrinking field, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Mr President's throne, and judicial torture is outsourced overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cobalia's national animal is the seagull, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Cobalia is ranked 1,039th in the world and 21st in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 4,705.70532168 days.
