The Most Ancient States of Korinekia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed population of 23.147 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ligeropolis. 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.

Criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, popular political cartoonists are thrown in jail for inciting dissent, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Korinekia to be bombproof. 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 8th in Secularia and 81,829th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 14 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
