The Interstellar Commission of Kobalera is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Brienna Spanberger with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, vat-grown people, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.403 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drekogesh. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kobaleran economy, worth 552 trillion Gigakredats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,473 Gigakredats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, behind every local dictator is a Kobaleran advisor whispering in their ear, model railroad hobbyists have taken to muscling model shipbuilders off their "turf", and military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives. 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 218,734^th in the world and 2,945^th in the South Pacific for Most Secular, with 15 Atheism Rate.
