The Democratic Republic of Kobagia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Gabriel Anthony Losde Bisar with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, avowedly heterosexual populace, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 9.617 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merrdelle. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kobagian economy, worth 924 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 96,167 Bagynos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 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 7,749^th in the world and 372^nd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,275.71 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
