The Democratic States of Compowomie is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Gerephim with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.427 billion Compowomen enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sertusfrus. The average income tax rate is 57.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Compowomian economy, worth 235 trillion shiels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,911 shiels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, light entertainment isn't dead, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, and heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-shiel treacle machine. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Compowomie's national animal is the rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Compowomie is ranked 22,986^th in the world and 906^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
