The United Socialist States of Cottrelliguay is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by bro with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.207 billion Cottrelliguayans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gamersburg. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cottrelliguayan economy, worth a remarkable 1,120 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 99,959 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, television characters who ask how someone's doing are charged with harassment, all industry is owned and run by the government, and things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cottrelliguay's national animal is the red-eyed skink, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is agnosticism or else.

Cottrelliguay is ranked 10,366^th in the world and 35^th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,555.61 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
