The Federal Republic of Control Resonant is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 14 million Control Resonantians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Control Resonantian economy, worth 552 billion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,458 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, the possibility of gain causes universal pain, and many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Control Resonant's national animal is the Human, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Control Resonant is ranked 187,254^th in the world and 77^th in UEPU Federal Republic for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 23.26 Effective Tax Rate.
