The Republic of Costa Primera is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 36 million Costa Primerans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 45.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Costa Primeran economy, worth 1.78 trillion primecós a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,331 primecós, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Leader's wardrobe, and social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Costa Primera's national animal is the quetzal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Costa Primera is ranked 151,113^th in the world and 1,039^th in Europe for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,593.57 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
