Coocoobad Federal City is the national capital of Coocoostan as well as a "Federal City", meaning it is responsible for it's own Oblast-level government. 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.
