The Oppressed Peoples of Coffle Work Gangs is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.032 billion Coffle Work Gangsians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Black Hole of Calcutta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The thriving Coffle Work Gangsian economy, worth 168 trillion Farthings a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 55,580 Farthings, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,446 per year while the poor average 9,678, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

Coffle Work Gangsians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, and Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Coffle Work Gangs's new capital. Crime is a problem. Coffle Work Gangs's national animal is the Bloodhound, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Coffle Work Gangs is ranked 114,238^th in the world and 5^th in The Nevers for Most Corrupt Governments, with 10.35 kickbacks per hour.
