The Republic of Consoland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Consus Magnus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.728 billion Consolandians 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 Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Consonia. The average income tax rate is 48.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Consolandian economy, worth 267 trillion Consuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 98,087 Consuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", visiting the best Consolandian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consoland's national animal is the Axolotl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Cult of Consus.

Consoland is ranked 31,001^st in the world and 119^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Corrupt Governments, with 77.04 kickbacks per hour.
