The Democratic Republic of United Corey is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 1.032 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strabane. The average income tax rate is 71%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

The government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, the space program has been scrapped in order to focus on more terrestrial pursuits, military funding has been stripped back, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Corey's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Catholic, and its currency is the Pound.

United Corey is ranked 302nd in Europe and 83,005th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -18 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
