The Celtic Empire of A Cornstar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by IACOBVS REX with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, devout population of 14.682 billion Cornoes are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cornstarntinople. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Corny economy, worth a remarkable 2,114 trillion Good Boy Points a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,034 Good Boy Points, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, only the richest get to see out of their windows, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, and high school bands practice by moonlight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Cornstar's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Chalcedonian Christianity.

A Cornstar is ranked 41,815^th in the world and 1^st in Westfalen Westphalia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
