The Colony of Cotcam is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 357 million Cotcamians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.

The strong Cotcamian economy, worth 16.8 trillion Catnips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 46,961 Catnips, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cotcam's national animal is the Cat.

Cotcam is ranked 14,621^st in the world and 4^th in The Cocoa Archipelago for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7,322.7 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
