The Democratic States of Corsetopia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jenna with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 44.759 billion Corsetopians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The tiny, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Corsetopian economy, worth an astonishing 12,588 trillion Mooks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 281,239 Mooks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. Crime is totally unknown. Corsetopia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Asatru.
Corsetopia is ranked 309,416th in the world and 3,264th in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 167.29 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
