The Queendom of Cotonoha is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-working, devout population of 8.484 billion Cotonohans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 38.6%.

The powerhouse Cotonohan economy, worth 587 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,268 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Overly distant dads are conscripted into national nappy service, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, and the internet has been placed under government control. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cotonoha's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Cotonoha is ranked 224,495^th in the world and 3,428^th in Remembrance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 208.34 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
