The Republic of Cometisum is a mid-sized, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television and hatred of cheese. The quiet, industrious population of 68 million Cometisumians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Cometisumian economy, worth 3.02 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,399 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, military funding has been stripped back, boys are shocked by the revolutionary lesson that women are actually human, and kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cometisum's national animal is the elephant.

Cometisum is ranked 316,200^th in the world and 1,136^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.82 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
