The Maritime Explorer of General COE is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 36.378 billion Generals are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The General COEian economy, worth a remarkable 1,206 trillion guns a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 33,164 guns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. General COE's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

General COE is ranked 16,462^nd in the world and 540^th in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 5,285.23 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
