The Republic of COC OS is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 286 million COC OSians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The very strong COC OSian economy, worth 21.0 trillion Cocos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 73,296 Cocos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 241,382 per year while the poor average 16,670, a ratio of 14.5 to 1.

Governments opposing COC OS are beset by rebels, families burn Leader's latest official photograph to keep warm, those awarding peace prizes to COC OSians find themselves in pieces, and sushi just hasn't been the same since salmon went extinct overnight. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. COC OS's national animal is the Cocos bird, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

COC OS is ranked 2,771^st in the world and 1^st in The New Gran Republic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,762.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
