The Unions of Cosnicu is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Speaker Stargate with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 3.029 billion Cosnicu 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Political District. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cosnicu economy, worth 475 trillion Kresks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 157,009 Kresks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bourgeoisie are asked nicely to hand over the means of production, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, and politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cosnicu's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shivien-Teth.

Cosnicu is ranked 274,225^th in the world and 2^nd in New Scalia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -11.8 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
