The Brilliant Republic of The Great Cob is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Kernal Korn with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 41.512 billion Great Cobs are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Popcorn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The all-consuming Great Cobby economy, worth a remarkable 2,704 trillion kernels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 65,146 kernels, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 310,989 per year while the poor average 8,010, a ratio of 38.8 to 1.

A recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, some say Kernal Korn has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Great Cob's national animal is the cornish beef hen, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Wiccan.

The Great Cob is ranked 6,514th in the world and 1st in Traveling Region for Most Stationary, with 2,882.3550650138 days.
