The Commonwealth of Concordeia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the National Congress with an even hand, and renowned for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.127 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Equality and Social Welfare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Concord. The average income tax rate is 69%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, the internet has been placed under government control, and students cut up leftover dollars during Arts and Crafts. Crime is totally unknown. Concordeia's national animal is the white-tailed deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.

Concordeia is ranked 184th in 10000 Islands and 5,570th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 26 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
