The Federal Republic of Kobesia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, digital currency, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.606 billion Kobesians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gutierrez. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kobesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,176 trillion Kobesian Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 209,864 Kobesian Pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 724,953 per year while the poor average 44,432, a ratio of 16.3 to 1.

The fire protection service is wholly government-funded, the church declares that everyone should get a large serving of nuts daily, the well-to-do in Commonwealth of Liberty are never on time for important appointments, and for just a few extra Kobesian Pesos Kobesians can get new driving records with their new cars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kobesia's national animal is the Kobesian Pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Pentecostalism.

Kobesia is ranked 11,086th in the world and 19th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Cultured, scoring 114 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
