The District of Courtenville is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 32.26 billion Courtenvilleans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The very strong Courtenvillean economy, worth a remarkable 1,366 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 42,370 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Euthanasia is legal, surveillance cameras are banned, Courtenville has designated District City as its capital city, and Liard has just been declared ruler of Courtenville in an international press conference. Crime is moderate. Courtenville's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Courtenville is ranked 245,522^nd in the world and 3^rd in Dominican Republic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
