“Being armed but with no weapon great battles may be won”

The Republic of Cosidia is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Rick Cosad the 3rd with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate population of 974 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cosidia City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cosidia's national animal is the Cosad, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dollar.

Cosidia is ranked 779th in the region and 50,591st in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
