The Republic of Cortenius is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning dragon population. The compassionate, democratic population of 68 million Corteniusians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Corteniusian economy, worth 3.49 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,294 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong, many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, and Leader isn't a national brand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cortenius's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cortenius is ranked 80,289^th in the world and 624^th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,890.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
