The Federal Republic of New Cora is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Arnold Kartet Mell with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and digital currency. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.347 billion Corans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coraxia. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coran economy, worth 482 trillion coraks 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 and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 144,068 coraks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million coraks of property damage, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, and pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Cora's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Cora is ranked 2,773^rd in the world and 141^st in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 141.33 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
