The Republic of Cobcanas is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.938 billion Cobcanasians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The thriving Cobcanasian economy, worth 243 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 61,732 kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,515 per year while the poor average 12,592, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cobcanas's national animal is the cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cobcanas is ranked 55,232^nd in the world and 1^st in Cobcanas for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 4,545.26 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
