The Republic of Commoterre is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Nydia Amicus with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.24 billion Commoterriens 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koinoville. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Commoterrean economy, worth 169 trillion bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Trout Farming. Average income is 75,539 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The countryside is shrouded by wind farms, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commoterre's national animal is the eevee, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Commoterre is ranked 191,846^th in the world and 7,644^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.52 Obesity Rate.
