The Republic of Cometia is a small, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The democratic, devout population of 29 million Cometians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Cometian economy, worth 1.34 trillion Sans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,187 Sans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Gambling is outlawed, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, Cometia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute. Crime is well under control. Cometia's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cometia is ranked 107,738^th in the world and 4^th in Rejected Realms for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 41,799.53 Standard Monetary Units.
