The Technocracy of Cobrito is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Cobri Kiwington with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.104 billion Cobritians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drea. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cobritianic economy, worth a remarkable 5,778 trillion Cobroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 319,192 Cobroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, and stocks go up when the internet says so. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cobrito's national animal is the Apteryx, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cobrito is ranked 31,392nd in the world and 1,273rd in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,504.44 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
