The Democratic Republic of Kobagia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gabriel Anthony Losde Bisar with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 11.702 billion Kobagians 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, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merrdelle. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kobagian economy, worth a remarkable 1,223 trillion Bagynos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Retail, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 104,572 Bagynos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asthmatics can now suffer the effects of polluting chimneys from further away than ever before, they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), photographers have to apply for a license to photograph Gabriel Anthony Losde Bisar, and playground injuries are considered academic progress. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kobagia's national animal is the Kobagian tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic and Kobagian Christianism.

Kobagia is ranked 128,247^th in the world and 2,381^st in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,304.21 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
