The Democratic Republic of Kobagia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Gabriel Anthony Losde Bisar with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory vegetarianism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.984 billion Kobagians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merrdelle. The average income tax rate is 79.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kobagian economy, worth 571 trillion Bagynos a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 95,508 Bagynos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government has returned all business to private ownership, no-one bats an eye when 'really good platonic friends' of the same sex hold hands in Kobagia, you're only as old as you feel, and creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very 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 202,957^th in the world and 9,139^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -81.43 on the Hayek Index.
