The Republic of Coroin is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, lack of airports, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 526 million Coroinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pakat. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Coroinian economy, worth 32.9 trillion COROES a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 62,588 COROES, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The sound of wooden legs echo throughout Coroin after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, clerics are taught that silence is golden and duct tape is silver, defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, and the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coroin's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Coroin is ranked 11,082^nd in the world and 16^th in Communitas for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,142.6 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
