The Commonwealth of Coastia is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 1.969 billion Coastians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elizabetha. The average income tax rate is 67.2%.

The strong Coastian economy, worth 130 trillion Coastian Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,162 Coastian Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coastia's national animal is the Bird™, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Coastia is ranked 14,270^th in the world and 761^st in Osiris for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,811.27 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
