The Grand Republic of Kobbans is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Brutus with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, devout population of 6.262 billion Kobbians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kovid. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kobbian economy, worth 696 trillion Kois a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 111,185 Kois, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, young people suspect their parents might be a little bit stupid, and only persecuted professionals need apply for asylum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kobbans's national animal is the Hazulu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Kobbans is ranked 120,567th in the world and 19th in Warzone Asia for Largest Populations, with 6.26 billion capita.
