The Empire of Coroneti is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Gilbertus Septimus with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.817 billion Coronetians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Septima Coronatum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Coronetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,008 trillion Imperial Aureuses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 173,407 Imperial Aureuses, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.
Family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, the military has adopted a weird double-fisted salute, and traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coroneti's national animal is the Krayt, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Coroneti is ranked 262,006th in the world and 9,687th in Balder for Safest, scoring 15.22 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
