The Constitutional Monarchy of Corlien is a tiny, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8 million Corlienians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The strong Corlienian economy, worth 554 billion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 69,326 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation rates have hit a new low, interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBC Governor goes house hunting, a stitch in time could see you serving nine, and small shoes often wash up on the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corlien's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Corlien is ranked 163,149^th in the world and 52^nd in womp for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
