The Republic of Coretas is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Maximiliano Arnal with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 6.993 billion Coretans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caracas. The average income tax rate is 29.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Coretan economy, worth 410 trillion Coretan arocals a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,761 Coretan arocals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents, and women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coretas's national animal is the Troupial, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Coretas is ranked 103,813^th in the world and 8^th in Blackstar for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
