The People's Republic of Cockadobbie is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mad Brian the Sane with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.748 billion Goblins are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cockadobbie City. The average income tax rate is 13.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Goblin economy, worth a remarkable 4,054 trillion Blueberry Muffins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,705 Blueberry Muffins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mad Brian the Sane steals from the rich and gives to the needy, foreign leaders are advising that Mad Brian the Sane's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cockadobbie's national animal is the Gopher, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cockadobbie is ranked 43,949th in the world and 2,403rd in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,371.3 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
