The Democratic Republic of Cow Hunters is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Most Illustrious Moo-preme Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, national health service, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.488 billion Cow Huntersians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ribtopia. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cow Huntersian economy, worth a remarkable 1,310 trillion bovines a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 238,713 bovines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government snoops on private internet connections, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, and neighbourhood gossips whip up controversy about those receiving adult merchandise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cow Hunters's national animal is the tasty meat sack, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Steakism.

Cow Hunters is ranked 3,390^th in the world and 1^st in Inferno Stellaria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 126.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
