The Perfectly Fine Place of Cossack Church is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.967 billion Cossacks 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.0%.

The powerhouse Cossack economy, worth 449 trillion bills a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,313 bills, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 412,991 per year while the poor average 6,994, a ratio of 59.0 to 1.

The nation is famous for having one of the world's largest Grizzly Bear hunting institutions, archaeological discoveries are often followed by mysterious hamster abductions, judges are all-powerful, and the only record being broken at sporting events is the highest death toll. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cossack Church's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cossack Church is ranked 168,143rd in the world and 3,447th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 106.26258476968 days.
