The Republic of Coriai is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 929 million Coriaians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coriai City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.0%.

The powerhouse Coriaian economy, worth 91.5 trillion CSDS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,497 CSDS, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

All the playground's a stage for Coriaian schoolchildren, all guns must be registered, the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, and the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coriai's national animal is the Coriaian Eagle.

Coriai is ranked 62,878^th in the world and 785^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
