The Republic of COU- is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.734 billion COU-ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The strong COU-ian economy, worth 288 trillion rupees a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 42,873 rupees, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 276,325 per year while the poor average 2,687, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. COU-'s national animal is the cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

COU- is ranked 96,150^th in the world and 1^st in Commutalist Union for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,067.86 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
