The Democratic Dictatorship of The Kobalt Islands is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 7.72 billion Kobalt Islanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Torrance. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.9%.
The strong Kobalt Islandsian economy, worth 437 trillion Credits a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Cheese Exports. Average income is 56,631 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.
Sick days are on the rise, movie references are legally admissible in court, Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, and the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kobalt Islands's national animal is the Dragon Fly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
The Kobalt Islands is ranked 45,713th in the world and 1st in Transatlantic Alliance for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 6.09 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
