The Commonwealth of Cornerstones is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.574 billion Cornerstonesians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The thriving Cornerstonesian economy, worth 164 trillion baht a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 63,970 baht, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 226,433 per year while the poor average 13,048, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cornerstones's national animal is the squirrel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cornerstones is ranked 256,706^th in the world and 10,758^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring zero on the Gilded Widget Scale.
