The United Kingdom of Concordaia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by High King Oliver Robin von Crossfeld with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working population of 5.984 billion Concordeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heathfield. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Concordean economy, worth 685 trillion Concord Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 114,607 Concord Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, an underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, lobster tastes best when it is red, and new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes. Crime is totally unknown. Concordaia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cantalism.

Concordaia is ranked 193,712^th in the world and 147^th in The Hole To Hide In for Most Extreme, scoring 9.52 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
