The Democratic Republic of Concor is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister with a fair hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, anti-smoking policies, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.854 billion Concors 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Concorde. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Concorian economy, worth 333 trillion Concorian Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,924 Concorian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Clergy never mention brand names for fear of losing their government subsidies, the comic book series 'Prime Minister and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, foreign musicians that Prime Minister dislikes are turned away at the border, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Prime Minister is a silly poophead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Concor's national animal is the Silly Kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Concor is ranked 88,004^th in the world and 80^th in Forest for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,435.28 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
