The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.765 billion Corustians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of West Coldo. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Corustian economy, worth 114 trillion bars of solid golds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,970 bars of solid golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corust's national animal is the Polar bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Corust is ranked 78,028^th in the world and 7^th in The Land of Darkness and communism for Most Primitive, scoring 30.59 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
