The Democratic States of Corsetopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jenna with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 43.312 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, well-organized 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 4.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Corsetopian economy, worth an astonishing 11,700 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 270,133 Mooks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, large sections of Corsetopia have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, nine out of ten citizens of Corsetopia answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, and people think "siege mentality" is a positive trait. 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 75,664th in the world and 665th in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 18.54 flags saluted per person per day.
