The Interstellar Commission of Kobalera is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dopoxa Counten with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.883 billion Kobalerians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drekogesh. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kobaleran economy, worth 461 trillion Gigakredats a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,830 Gigakredats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The official Kobaleran Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, and unemployed school bus drivers photobomb virtual classroom meetings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kobalera's national animal is the Furred Drake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Karistine.

Kobalera is ranked 23,912^th in the world and 565^th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 83 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
