The Technocracy of Cobrito is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Cobri Kiwington with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 12.969 billion Cobritians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drea. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cobritianic economy, worth a remarkable 3,512 trillion Cobroes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 amazing 270,857 Cobroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, and rocket boots and thermal detonators have become standard-issue military gear. Crime is totally unknown. Cobrito's national animal is the Apteryx, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cobrito is ranked 13,337^th in the world and 788^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,778.89 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
