The Soothing Blanket of Coddlespa is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Missus Butters with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.774 billion Coddleds 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Sauna. The average income tax rate is 47.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Coddlespan economy, worth 709 trillion coddles a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,479 coddles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Coddlespa successfully hosted the Key Results Union Olympics, for some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate, Coddlespa recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, and flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coddlespa's national animal is the chihuahua, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Coddlespa is ranked 112,500^th in the world and 7^th in Key Results Union for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,584.94 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
