The Graceful Swans of Coscoroba is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Boris Bewick with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 21.793 billion Coscorobans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Stanley. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Coscoroban economy, worth a remarkable 4,092 trillion Oblate Spheroids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 187,788 Oblate Spheroids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Children seem to be getting better at lying these days, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coscoroba's national animal is the Swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Honkism.
Coscoroba is ranked 285,282nd in the world and 10,647th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 5.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
