The Dictatorship of Cobblin Dee is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.88 billion Cobblin Deezzes 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cobblin Deean economy, worth 131 trillion Souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 69,946 Souls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Cobblin Deean soldiers are assured their new ray-guns will finally power up after the next round of ominous chanting, violence is always the answer in Cobblin Dee, punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up, and convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cobblin Dee's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cobblin Dee is ranked 105,313th in the world and 6,191st in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
