The Incorporated States of Corponation is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 630 million Corponationians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pringlesburgh. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Corponationian economy, worth 55.8 trillion Pepsi points a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 88,611 Pepsi points, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, people queue for valets instead of parking spaces, and goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corponation's national animal is the Red Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Corponation is ranked 155,047^th in the world and 6^th in Rainy peninsula for Smartest Citizens, with 29.26 quips per hour.
