The Republic of Corn Kernel is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.43 billion Corn Kernelians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.0%.

The very strong Corn Kernelian economy, worth 480 trillion aweafwefs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 46,052 aweafwefs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, schoolchildren learn basic numeracy by counting off their push-ups, the law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, and litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Corn Kernel's national animal is the awefawef, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Corn Kernel is ranked 107,027^th in the world and 37^th in 555 for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 41,907.8 Standard Monetary Units.
