The Empire of Corsaria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Mataii with an even hand, and renowned for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate population of 21.608 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corsaria City. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corsaria's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Cor.

Corsaria is ranked 1st in Katasia and 1st in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 63 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
