The Principality of Coada is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its digital currency and frequent executions. The hard-working, democratic population of 99 million Coadishes 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 tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 7.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Coadan economy, worth 5.75 trillion palts a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 58,102 palts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Coadan scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, nobody brings rolls of coins to the laundromat anymore, Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Coada's national animal is the pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Coada is ranked 86,663^rd in the world and 1,548^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 93.6 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
