The Ruthless Nation of -Cobra Island is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Cobra Commander with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.296 billion Cobra citizens 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Springfield. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cobra economy, worth 504 trillion cobra coins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,399 cobra coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Fifty years of pension funds can disappear in half a second, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Cobra Island's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

-Cobra Island is ranked 87,598th in the world and 2nd in Altmora for Most Influential, scoring 692 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
