The Kingdom of Kobrealurra is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.74 billion Kobrealurrans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kobreas. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Kobrealurran economy, worth 609 trillion Cupruxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 51,882 Cupruxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, some Kobrealurran athletes have defected to Blackacre after being denied the chance to compete in international sporting events, debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kobrealurra's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Kobrealurra is ranked 11,130th in the world and 371st in The Communist Bloc for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 4,614.92 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
