The Shining Star of Cominca is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sophie with an even hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 24.31 billion Comincans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falinca. The average income tax rate is 49.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Comincan economy, worth 463 trillion Stars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,081 Stars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nihilism has been named as Cominca's national religion, Sophie has just been declared ruler of Cominca in an international press conference, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cominca's national animal is the kangooroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nihilism.

Cominca is ranked 269,066^th in the world and 2^nd in The Only Card Farm in Existence for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 9,712.49 Standard Monetary Units.
