The Free Merchant Republic of Corcelia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Maestro Andrea Pirlo with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed population of 5.143 billion Corcelians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cittadella di Corcelia. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Corcelian economy, worth 542 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,397 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, and the police ransack more houses than criminals do. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corcelia's national animal is the falcon and its national religion is Christianism.

Corcelia is ranked 83,232^nd in the world and 7^th in Venice for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 4,330.45 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
