The Federal Republic of CSCO is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.949 billion CSCOians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.8%.

The CSCOian economy, worth 312 trillion CSCO Shareses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,015 CSCO Shareses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 147,352 per year while the poor average 10,329, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.

Returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, atheists refusing to attend church are heavily fined by the government, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, and the government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans. Crime is moderate. CSCO's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

CSCO is ranked 157,729^th in the world and 17^th in NYSE for Highest Food Quality, scoring 16.1 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
