“To dare it is to do”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Coolibeer is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.009 billion Coolibeerians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 7.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coolibeerian economy, worth a remarkable 7,126 trillion dolars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 395,720 dolars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests. Crime is totally unknown. Coolibeer's national animal is the hiena, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Coolibeer is ranked 343,095^th in the world and 16,375^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 0.16 average smiles per day.
