The Democratic People's Republic of Kobagia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Gabriel Anthony Losde Bisar with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.571 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merrdelle. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kobagian economy, worth 220 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 a large, well-organized, 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 85,835 Bagynos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Saying 'no homo' is enough to escape punishment for the crime of being gay, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", state media insists that Gabriel Anthony Losde Bisar is the most fashionable leader in The North Pacific, and countless government officials are accused of espionage. 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 167,595^th in the world and 8,817^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 6.01 Atheism Rate.
