The Empire of Corsaria is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Empress Mataii with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 41.268 billion Corsarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corsaria City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Corsarian economy, worth an astonishing 17,008 trillion Cors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 412,136 Cors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, foreign leaders are advising that Empress Mataii's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, and Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corsaria's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Corsaria is ranked 93^rd in the world and 1^st in Katasia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 10,438.63 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
