The Republic of Cormount is a small, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning cobra population. The hard-working population of 36 million Cormountians 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, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 19.4%.

The Cormountian economy, worth 1.55 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 43,085 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cormount's national animal is the cobra.

Cormount is ranked 152,239^th in the world and 432^nd in Dimmersun for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 104.32 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
