Coocoobad is the national capital of [[Coocoostan]]] as well as the Capital of the Capital Oblast. It is located in the eastern portion of Coocoostan proper and is a Megalopolis, beginning to suffer from urban sprawl, pollution(smog,smoke and acid raid) as well as a crime wave. The Interior Secretariat requires an application to be submitted to move to Coocoobad unless you have an acceptable relative already living there, or an offer of employment. Still, the city continues to grow at the rate of nearly a thousand new citizens a day and the government is considering implementing a population cap at 30 million.

The city is extremely cluttered, with a network of streets that is far from uniform. Streets can instantly shrink from being four lane boulevards to one lane alleys and then back again, due to the resistance of local residents to move and make way for road projects. The city also had a shantytown on the outskirts of the city, until it was dismantled in 2004 and the residents moved. Still, most returned and the city is overrun by squatters and homeless(some 10,000).

The city has turned around in recent years, with boulevards becoming more and more common, with underpasses at some key intersections. Most buildings are slightly older, although newer structures are present. The city sits on the Great Salt Lake, and is divided into three wards, the North on the north side of the lake, plus the South and the West on the south side.
