The Self-Sufficient States of Coth Pladyia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by the Grand Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.181 billion Coths hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anvil. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coth Pladyian economy, worth 746 trillion Kromərs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 178,426 Kromərs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up, Anvil has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime is totally unknown. Coth Pladyia's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Məkhanism.

Coth Pladyia is ranked 262,938^th in the world and 5,652^nd in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 1.12 flags saluted per person per day.
