The Queendom of Cognitum is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 16.971 billion Cognitumians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.3%.

The very strong Cognitumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,307 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 77,064 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

CDs are regularly copy-protected, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Cognitum City, and any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cognitum's national animal is the biomass scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cognitum is ranked 166,014th in the world and 21st in The Trunk of a Pontiac Tempest for Most Stationary, with 114.61171137068 days.
