The Social Democracy of Old Corus is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Executive Council with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.942 billion Coruscans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corus. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coruscan economy, worth 265 trillion Dollars 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 90,208 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, there is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Corus's national animal is the Coween, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Old Corus is ranked 194,208th in the world and 824th in The Communist Bloc for Most Stationary, with 54.98286064428 days.
