The Republic of Concortia is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, avowedly heterosexual populace, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 373 million Concortians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Gabriel. The average income tax rate is 35.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Concortian economy, worth 33.5 trillion Revals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,737 Revals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed, homebuyers must agree to name their firstborn after the previous owner, and kitchen patrol is dominated by ten-year-old runts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Concortia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Concortia is ranked 80,776^th in the world and 1^st in Vakenkardia for Most Developed, scoring 67.15 on the Human Development Index.
