The Democratic States of Corsetopia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Jenna with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, aversion to nipples, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 44.527 billion Corsetopians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The tiny, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 21.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Corsetopian economy, worth an astonishing 12,440 trillion Mooks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 279,383 Mooks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, and children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines. Crime is totally unknown. Corsetopia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Asatru.
Corsetopia is ranked 40,505th in the world and 267th in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 36.59 flags saluted per person per day.
