The Republic of COSMOS One is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.63 billion COSMOS Oneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.7%.

The frighteningly efficient COSMOS Onean economy, worth 164 trillion Monies a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 100,938 Monies, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", "Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, wildlife parks are packed with poachers yet increasingly devoid of animals, and thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. COSMOS One's national animal is the Card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

COSMOS One is ranked 326,188^th in the world and 17,482^nd in Lazarus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -13.22 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
