The Federation of Cobalite is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 297 million Cobalts enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turellis. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cobalitean economy, worth 20.7 trillion Instaxes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 69,599 Instaxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, and agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cobalite's national animal is the Geopelia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cobalite is ranked 277,902^nd in the world and 338^th in Christians for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.74 kickbacks per hour.
