The Encrypted Beacon of Cobalt Strike is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.604 billion Cobalt Strikeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 50.4%.

The strong Cobalt Strikean economy, worth 191 trillion beacons a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,201 beacons, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and the number of students attending university has reached a record high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cobalt Strike's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
