The Autonomous Republic of Cochinchinas is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 746 million Cochinchina peoples are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Public Transport and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gia Dinh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The powerhouse Cochinchinasian economy, worth 59.9 trillion Cochinchina silver coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 80,258 Cochinchina silver coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 292,206 per year while the poor average 15,672, a ratio of 18.6 to 1.

Swarms of present-laden delivery drones blot out the sun before major holidays, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon, and the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cochinchinas's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cochinchinas is ranked 74,323^rd in the world and 1^st in Council of Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,322.61 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
