The Democratic Republic of Coinonica is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 736 million Coinonicans 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foinicci. The average income tax rate is 38.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Coinonican economy, worth 49.5 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,213 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Foinicci, light entertainment isn't dead, and welfare funding has recently gone through the roof. Crime is totally unknown. Coinonica's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Coinonica is ranked 27,779^th in the world and 134^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,760.65 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
