The Republic of Corcaw is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.803 billion Corcawians 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corcaw City. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Corcawian economy, worth a remarkable 4,210 trillion Tollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 223,929 Tollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Dinner parties often end in politically charged fist fights, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, parents dread their examinations more than their children, and Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits. Crime is totally unknown. Corcaw's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Corcaw is ranked 13,058th in the world and 1,408th in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 4,015 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
