The Federal Republic of Coaxa is a very large, genial nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, enforced nudity, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 278 million Coaxans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 27.5%.

The strong Coaxan economy, worth 18.7 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 67,200 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declared that sharing is uncaring, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Coaxan democracy, and treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coaxa's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Coaxa is ranked 114,284^th in the world and 1,031^st in the West Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,477.41 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
