The Democratic Republic of Cornolia is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.148 billion Cornolians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Netz. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cornolian economy, worth 61.2 trillion Cornilian Dinars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 53,323 Cornilian Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, and grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cornolia's national animal is the Goldfinch, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cornolia is ranked 206,756^th in the world and 132^nd in Christians for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -4 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
