“Illegitimi Non Carborundum”

The Benevolent Oligarchy of Grand Coralia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Shadowy One with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 2.055 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coralian. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Tourism and Arms Manufacturing.

Organ donation rates have hit a new low, religious education is a new government priority, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, and the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grand Coralia's national animal is the orange tabby cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the guilder.

Grand Coralia is ranked 48th in the region and 13,762nd in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
