The Bundesrepublik of Grosscobra Reich is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Herr Heinrich Schmidt with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 11.499 billion Cobrarians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 82.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cobrarian economy, worth 913 trillion Reichseuros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,480 Reichseuros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, a new "thought police" branch is being developed, and tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grosscobra Reich's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Grosscobra Reich is ranked 258,397^th in the world and 8,918^th in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring -182.19 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
