Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United Kingdom of Korbu Tribes is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Peter Hill with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.093 billion Korbis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korbuton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.8%.

The Korbu Tribesian economy, worth 307 trillion Buroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,466 Buroes, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Religious education is a new government priority, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, and songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korbu Tribes's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Korbu Spiritual.

Korbu Tribes is ranked 38,797^th in the world and 3^rd in Aeterna Regnum for Most Cultured, scoring 75 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
