The Federative State Union of Cordonshur is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Mariya Tskhoy with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 18.774 billion Cordonshurians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vekarinberg. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cordonshurian economy, worth a remarkable 3,265 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 173,943 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, insomniacs read government expense reports to fall asleep, and Dàguó is simultaneously dead and alive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cordonshur's national animal is the Bull, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cordonshur is ranked 57,742^nd in the world and 22^nd in Audinesca for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,832.81 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
