The Republic of Coretas is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Maximiliano Arnal with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 12.189 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 716 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 101,248^th in the world and 4^th in Blackstar for Most Developed, scoring 61.16 on the Human Development Index.
