The Commonwealth of Corynth is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 664 million Corynthians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The average income tax rate is 43.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Corynthian economy, worth 57.9 trillion Septims 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 87,170 Septims, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, saying "don't do anything that Leader wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corynth's national animal is the Dire Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Corynth is ranked 51,302^nd in the world and 305^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,599.34 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
