The Most Serene Republic of Como City is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 449 million Cumaschi love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sinigaglia City. The average income tax rate is 44.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Cumasch economy, worth 44.6 trillion Scudoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 99,349 Scudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, Cumasch scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, all the world's a stage for Cumasch political theatrics, and children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Como City's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Como City is ranked 111,411^th in the world and 508^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,160.31 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
