The Swiss Cheese Confederacy of Cowland5 is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 10.847 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cowtopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Book Publishing and Tourism.

Abortions are routinely performed in Cowland5's hospitals, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and Cowland5 is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is totally unknown. Cowland5's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the franc.

Cowland5 is ranked 9th in Canada and 181st in the world for Most Influential, scoring 341 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
