The Domain Expansion of Cools is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Cools with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.889 billion Coolsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Infinite Void. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.4%.

The powerhouse Coolsian economy, worth 430 trillion Cools a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 88,025 Cools, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 286,565 per year while the poor average 20,364, a ratio of 14.1 to 1.

The tribal zone has been opened to up to 'economic interest' groups, EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, a milk bath costs more than bathing in money, and Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cools's national animal is the Silly Cats, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Coolsism.

Cools is ranked 76,446th in the world and 3rd in Cools Established Barrier for Most Developed, scoring 68.33 on the Human Development Index.
