The Community of Kobalera is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 560 million Kobalerans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drekogesh. The average income tax rate is 31.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kobaleran economy, worth 24.9 trillion kredats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 44,375 kredats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, frisbee games on college quadrangles are grounds for expulsion, and idyllic countryside scenes see border collies herding sixty-ton dinosaurs. Crime is totally unknown. Kobalera's national animal is the Tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kobalera is ranked 128,077^th in the world and 3,311^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
