The Free Land of Cobb Deet is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.938 billion Deetians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Education, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The thriving Deetian economy, worth 496 trillion bobbats a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 71,556 bobbats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 253,285 per year while the poor average 14,596, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cobb Deet's national animal is the marine iguana, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cobb Deet is ranked 323,470^th in the world and 2^nd in The PET league for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -11.83 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
