The Purple nation of Korsinia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Einar Grímsson-Astrid Haugen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 10.975 billion Korsinians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vulkanerborg-Rubin. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Korsinian economy, worth 848 trillion Vixes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,323 Vixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, Korsinian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Einar Grímsson-Astrid Haugen, the Korsinia Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and Korsinia has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Korsinia's national animal is the Arctic fox-Laverian falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is St Scarlett Catholic.

Korsinia is ranked 89,359^th in the world and 71^st in Thaecia for Most Patriotic, with 20.24 flags saluted per person per day.
