The Democratic Republic of Cortlandt Manor is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Boxer with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.461 billion Cortlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westchester. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Cortlandt Manorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,526 trillion Spennies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,485 Spennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cortlandt Manor's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.
Cortlandt Manor is ranked 8,877th in the world and 65th in Europeia for Most Influential, scoring 6,036 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
