The Colony of Corrian is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Kuadongu with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic population of 29.934 billion Corrianians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cordeer. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The enormous but inefficient Corrianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,579 trillion Corras a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 52,762 Corras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, the new coalition government has 99 problems and can't agree on how to fix one, bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, and bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corrian's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Corrian is ranked 245,799th in the world and 2nd in Carnival of Souls for Most Primitive, scoring -107.96 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
