The Out of Control Energy of C0RE is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.118 billion C0REians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sla77 Ci7y. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.3%.
The powerhouse C0REian economy, worth 491 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,362 Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 375,960 per year while the poor average 10,261, a ratio of 36.6 to 1.
Agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, taxpayer money is hard at work exorcizing laundry, and television characters who ask how someone's doing are charged with harassment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. C0RE's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
C0RE is ranked 30,232nd in the world and 6th in Frimaire for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
