The Democratic States of Corsetopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jenna with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 39.3 billion Corsetopians 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 relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Law & Order, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Corsetopian economy, worth an astonishing 10,151 trillion Mooks 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 mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 258,300 Mooks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
