The Dictatorship of Cotoken is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.404 billion Cotokenians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Cotokenian economy, worth 223 trillion Axes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 158,685 Axes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 973,953 per year while the poor average 11,315, a ratio of 86.1 to 1.

The nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Cotoken. Crime is totally unknown. Cotoken's national animal is the Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cotoken is ranked 12,444^th in the world and 5^th in Kelios for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 5 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
