The Union of Coth Pladyia is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Metalag VII with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.894 billion Coths enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anvil. The average income tax rate is 45.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coth Pladyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,609 trillion Kromərs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 180,983 Kromərs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Anvil University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, the nation has returned to more conventional warfare to slaughter its enemies, paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black, and foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets. Crime is totally unknown. Coth Pladyia's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Məkhanism.

Coth Pladyia is ranked 14,908^th in the world and 348^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 180,983.38 Standard Monetary Units.
