The Corruptocracy of Generic Cobbobbins is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Yellowtail Beavwery Johns with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.333 billion Generic Cobbobbinsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bumg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.4%.

The all-consuming Generic Cobbobbinsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,395 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,669 pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 436,739 per year while the poor average 16,374, a ratio of 26.7 to 1.

Thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, and fidgety cubicle workers play with their balls. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Generic Cobbobbins's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Generic Cobbobbins is ranked 72,737th in the world and 3rd in Puppetstorm for Most Developed, scoring 69.61 on the Human Development Index.
