Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The All-Consuming Hive Mind of Cosmovania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Master with an iron fist, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.697 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valley Lodge. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

Women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, the government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Cosmovania's national animal is the torgo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Manos, and its currency is the orphan.

Cosmovania is ranked 10th in Wysteria and 44th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 39 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
