The Republic of Cool Beer is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.01 billion Cool Beerians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The thriving Cool Beerian economy, worth 908 trillion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 75,660 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 267,814 per year while the poor average 15,433, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cool Beer's national animal is the sheep, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cool Beer is ranked 300,833^rd in the world and 1^st in Refrigerator for Safest, scoring 15.57 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
