The Queen's State of Cobelle is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.452 billion Cobelleans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The powerhouse Cobellean economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 56,641 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 200,492 per year while the poor average 11,553, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Cobelle's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, all tariffs have been abolished, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Cobelle's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cobelle is ranked 273,033^rd in the world and 8^th in Tifariti for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.69 kickbacks per hour.
