The Law of Concordat is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bronze Caliph with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.061 billion Signatories love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Black Diocese. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Concord economy, worth a remarkable 1,894 trillion cruciforms a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 188,278 cruciforms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, this summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, and military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Concordat's national animal is the Swart Oliphaunt, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Great Game.

Concordat is ranked 4,695th in the world and 1st in Commons for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
