The Federation of Coutock is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.174 billion Coutockians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Coutockian economy, worth 149 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 126,962 pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 857,961 per year while the poor average 6,948, a ratio of 123 to 1.

The economy is green and the air is black, serial killers share cells with serial jaywalkers, the government is a law unto itself, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coutock's national animal is the lobster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Coutock is ranked 26,477^th in the world and 9^th in Lonia Kreptia Llor for Most Developed, scoring 84.36 on the Human Development Index.
