The Free and Bountiful Land of Cocagne is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Friendly Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.917 billion Cocagnois love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thelema. The average income tax rate is 35.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cocagnois economy, worth a remarkable 3,113 trillion chococoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,849 chococoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, and typing Friendly Leader's name into a search engine always gives zero matches. Crime is totally unknown. Cocagne's national animal is the schmoo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cocagne is ranked 6,760th in the world and 44th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 2,842.0701602406 days.
