The People's Republic of Korumm is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General Secretary Chi Long Qua with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, pith helmet sales, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.115 billion Korummese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.3%.

The Korummian economy, worth a remarkable 1,136 trillion Lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 70,494 Lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 201,540 per year while the poor average 19,640, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korumm's national animal is the Cockatiel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is no religion.

Korumm is ranked 93,129^th in the world and 17^th in Greater Ixnay for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
