The Free Land of Northern Cobrastan is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 341 million Nord-Cobris 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bestburg. The average income tax rate is 25.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Cobrastani economy, worth 31.4 trillion Jorjis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 92,180 Jorjis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

There's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, smoking is banned in public areas, and legislators must raise their hands if they want to speak. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Northern Cobrastan's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northern Cobrastan is ranked 281,597^th in the world and 3,832^nd in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.49 flags saluted per person per day.
