The Conglomerate of The Citicore Corporation is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Warcrime McGrime with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.671 billion Citicorians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pork. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Citicorian economy, worth 407 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 152,613 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 989,325 per year while the poor average 9,414, a ratio of 105 to 1.

The government spends twice as much reclaiming lost settlements from the sea as it could've on coastal defences, the nation leads Osiris for unlikely accidents and truffle consumption, protestors are soaking piles of dollars in blood to make a point about government incomes, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Citicore Corporation's national animal is the snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Citicore Corporation is ranked 40,080th in the world and 1,557th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,294.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
