The State of Cobb Michelle is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate population of 45.842 billion Cobb Michelleans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cobb Michellean economy, worth a remarkable 3,102 trillion betales a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,673 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, everybody's got wood thanks to the Governor, tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn, and protest songs are the nation's de facto anthems. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cobb Michelle's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cobb Michelle is ranked 325,177^th in the world and 1^st in Cobb Michelle for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring zero on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
