The Democratic Republic of Covsoll is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 626 million Covsollians 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 Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kama. The average income tax rate is 19.9%.

The powerhouse Covsollian economy, worth 46.2 trillion Kalsirs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 73,735 Kalsirs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Re-education centers are being added to most prisons, watching shooting stars is Covsollians' number two favorite pastime, recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Covsoll's national animal is the Parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Covsoll is ranked 27,771^st in the world and 114^th in Concord for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 4,679.46 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
