The Egalitarian Republic of Koranz is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by President Aguilar with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.446 billion Koranzians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skoriza. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Koranzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,403 trillion euros 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 148,550 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Universities spend millions removing ivy from their walls to avoid accusations of elitism, public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, the most notorious criminals are given the Consequences of Your Actions Award, and preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koranz's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Koranz is ranked 329,199^th in the world and 30^th in Valaryia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 17.87 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
