The County of Cochise is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.04 billion Cochiseans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bisbee. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The thriving Cochisean economy, worth 409 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 67,768 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 216,923 per year while the poor average 16,071, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

The government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, residents of ageing concrete tower blocks have vital renovation work stopped by Brutalism enthusiasts, and gigantic new prisons are springing up all over the nation. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cochise's national animal is the scorpion.

Cochise is ranked 100,666^th in the world and 10^th in County for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
