The Arab Socialist Jamahiriya of Cobra Sahara is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Muammar Al-Ghaddafi with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.805 billion Libyans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tripoli. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Libya economy, worth 490 trillion Dinars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,054 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prosecutors routinely call transplant doctors as 'expert witnesses' in burglary cases, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, and lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cobra Sahara's national animal is the Hawk of Quraish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Cobra Sahara is ranked 15,057th in the world and 18th in Africa for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
