The Chaos of Great Cow Race is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Granny with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, avant-garde cinema, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.824 billion Bones are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valley. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cow economy, worth a remarkable 2,346 trillion golds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 an amazing 265,874 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Computers are allowed but only just, the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, a significant number of stupid stupid rat creatureses are being prosecuted on charges of child abuse, and the populace has developed a mortal fear of the woods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Cow Race's national animal is the stupid stupid rat creatures, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

Great Cow Race is ranked 23,855th in the world and 2nd in Temporary Home for Most Stationary, with 1,483.27292570472 days.
