The Island Republic of Cosie is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Giulian with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 15.615 billion Cosians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reunion. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cosian economy, worth a remarkable 3,369 trillion cobs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 215,798 cobs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Giulian's personal home is one of The Western Isles's most notorious party destinations, vehicular homicide by Cosian ambassadors is a leading cause of death throughout the world's capital cities, gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones, and the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cosie's national animal is the iguana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Saint Benedict's Rule.

Cosie is ranked 11,282nd in the world and 18th in The Western Isles for Most Stationary, with 2,171.88483915948 days.
