The Republic of Costa Primera is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 128 million Costa Primerans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Costa Primeran economy, worth 6.59 trillion primecós a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,497 primecós, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet', legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer, and military barracks resemble five-star hotels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Costa Primera's national animal is the quetzal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Costa Primera is ranked 220,369^th in the world and 1,050^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
