Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Most Ancient States of Korinekia is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 20.971 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korinekia City. The average income tax rate is 88%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The roads are virtually falling apart, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, the military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korinekia's national animal is the liger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the shiny bit of metal.

Korinekia is ranked 21st in Secularia and 98,478th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
