The Republic of Consul189 is a very large, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 305 million Consul189ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.9%.

The powerhouse Consul189ian economy, worth 23.4 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,838 deniers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 388,451 per year while the poor average 8,452, a ratio of 46.0 to 1.

Police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?". Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consul189's national animal is the bison, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Consul189 is ranked 98,281st in the world and 55th in Lower Llobregat for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 11,779.16 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
