The Democratic Republic of Kobagia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dremon Vhanoburg with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 11.987 billion Kobagians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merrdelle. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kobagian economy, worth a remarkable 1,342 trillion Bagynos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Retail, Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 111,955 Bagynos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dogs are encouraged to confront the psychodynamic roots of their desire to be "good boys", citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, and rumor has it that Dremon Vhanoburg has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kobagia's national animal is the Kobagian tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic and Kobagian Christianism.

Kobagia is ranked 62,023^rd in the world and 1,360^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
