The Republic of Coolibeer is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 16.351 billion Coolibeerians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 7.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coolibeerian economy, worth a remarkable 6,476 trillion dolars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 396,079 dolars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, children have lost interest in toy guns in favor of toy meth lab kits, people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute, and door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes'. Crime is totally unknown. Coolibeer's national animal is the hiena, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Coolibeer is ranked 46,177th in the world and 1,263rd in Balder for Most Armed, with 3.02 weapons per person.
