The Kingdom of Coridge is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Alys au Valli with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.908 billion Coridgeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akrojun. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Coridgean economy, worth a remarkable 1,175 trillion Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 239,449 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Replacement organs are grown in vats, spiritual tourists meditate in the ruins of Coridgean cathedrals, an increasing number of knights in shining armor suffer from PTSD, and joggers are often arrested for breathing too heavily. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coridge's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Vulcanism.

Coridge is ranked 1,131^st in the world and 1^st in Anegana for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 28,459.35 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
