The Republic of Coruscant VIII is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 11.476 billion Coruscant VIIIians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 26.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Coruscant VIIIian economy, worth 450 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,289 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coruscant VIII's national animal is the Terentatek, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Coruscant VIII is ranked 145,067^th in the world and 1^st in Galactic Order for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
