The Free and Bountiful Land of Cocagne is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Friendly Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.138 billion Cocagnois love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thelema. The average income tax rate is 34.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Cocagnois economy, worth a remarkable 3,148 trillion chococoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,951 chococoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, typing Friendly Leader's name into a search engine always gives zero matches, prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes, and visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage. Crime is totally unknown. Cocagne's national animal is the schmoo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Cocagne is ranked 2,295th in the world and 94th in Balder for Safest, scoring 145.21 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
