The Democratic Republic of Kobagia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gabriel Anthony Losde Bisar with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.577 billion Kobagians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merrdelle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Kobagian economy, worth 461 trillion Bagynos 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, quite specialized black market in Retail, Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. 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 impressive 100,742 Bagynos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 448,315 per year while the poor average 14,089, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

A serf by any other name works just as hard, the nation's Medal of Honour can be found as a free toy in breakfast cereal, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and small patches of desolate land across the world are part of Kobagian sovereign territory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kobagia's national animal is the Kobagian tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic and Kobagian Christianism.

Kobagia is ranked 15,375^th in the world and 822^nd in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 85.63 on the Human Development Index.
