The Amaranthine Democracy of Coriakin Free State is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Allen Tremmelbaum with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.212 billion 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paravonnuovo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coriakin Free State's national animal is the albatross, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Roman Catholicism, and its currency is the Dufferdollar.

Coriakin Free State is ranked 19th in Warzone Australia and 90,263rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
