The Colony of De Cocksdorp is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The democratic, devout population of 3.33 billion De Cocksdorpians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped De Cocksdorpian economy, worth 120 trillion guilders 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 led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 36,277 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. De Cocksdorp's national animal is the lion.

De Cocksdorp is ranked 45,457^th in the world and 1^st in Texel for Highest Drug Use, scoring 288.32 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
