The Federal Republic of Cobalite is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 695 million Cobaliteans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turellis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Cobalitean economy, worth 68.5 trillion Instaxes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,552 Instaxes, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, sports club owners are having a moneyball, the nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets, and whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cobalite's national animal is the Geopelia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cobalite is ranked 20,222^nd in the world and 79^th in Christians for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
