The World Order of Coercia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by lREDACTEDl with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.084 billion Coercians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coeopolis. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coercian economy, worth 637 trillion Coens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,992 Coens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, the world still seems flat to some people in space, and resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coercia's national animal is the Axolotl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Coeism.

Coercia is ranked 19,139^th in the world and 9^th in Federation of Martian Colonies for Longest Average Lifespans, with 90.67 years.
