The Commonwealth of Cowbridge is a huge, safe nation, notable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 448 million Cowbridgeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sarbagne. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.7%.

The all-consuming Cowbridgean economy, worth 46.3 trillion Pacificals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,330 Pacificals, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Builders across Cowbridge are blocked up with orders for new public loos, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and a degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cowbridge's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cowbridge is ranked 30,462^nd in the world and 1,419^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 103,330.78 Standard Monetary Units.
