The People's Republic of Corepublica is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 214 million Corepublic 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 49.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Corepublic economy, worth 7.70 trillion Corepublic Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,974 Corepublic Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corepublica's national animal is the bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Corepublica is ranked 115,791^st in the world and 5,474^th in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 687.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
