The Emirate of Cobiland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 5.086 billion Cobilandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Cobilandian economy, worth 22.0 trillion Florics 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 4,319 Florics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, euthanasia is legal, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cobiland's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cobiland is ranked 37,473^rd in the world and 28^th in Iris for Safest, scoring 106.25 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
