The Cherry Cream of Cotolon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hairy Hipster with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 35.272 billion Cotolonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sextropolis. The average income tax rate is 27.8%.

The powerhouse Cotolonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,214 trillion Lambs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 91,136 Lambs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, and the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cotolon's national animal is the Tickle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wibblegibble.

Cotolon is ranked 52,784th in the world and 11th in Sex for Most Stationary, with 838.18767189288 days.
