The Liberal Tribe of Coyote Californiate is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Liberal Coyote with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 12.321 billion Coyoteforneans 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, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coyotecord. The average income tax rate is 42.4%.

The Coyote Californiatean economy, worth 829 trillion Cactus Thorns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 67,332 Cactus Thorns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

A weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, the holiest shrine in Coyoteism is on another world, homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coyote Californiate's national animal is the Coyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Coyoteism.
