The Democratic Republic of Kobagia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Gabriel Anthony Losde Bisar with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.588 billion Kobagians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kobagian economy, worth 711 trillion Bagynos a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 93,816 Bagynos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

New pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun. 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 43,396^th in the world and 1,684^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring 51.83 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
