The Queendom of Cogma is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 17.665 billion Cogmen are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Cogman economy, worth 71.3 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 4,037 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Nudity is frowned upon, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, elections have been outlawed, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cogma's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Cogma is ranked 94,698th in the world and 6th in Utah for Most Primitive, scoring zero on the Scary Big Number Scale.
