The Democratic States of Compowomie is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Gerephim with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 7.581 billion Compowomen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sertusfrus. The average income tax rate is 55.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Compowomian economy, worth 787 trillion shiels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 103,884 shiels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, it's always rabbit season, biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar, and Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Compowomie's national animal is the rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Compowomie is ranked 215,538^th in the world and 3,221^st in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
