The Republic of Consul71 is a very large, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, lack of airports, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 340 million Consul71ians 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 Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.6%.

The Consul71ian economy, worth 20.6 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,569 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Superfoods are often seen as supervillains, Consul71 has designated Consul71 City as its capital city, wandering Consul71ians are known for their one-track minds, and pinkie promises are a matter of life and death. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consul71's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Consul71 is ranked 122,277^th in the world and 80^th in Lower Llobregat for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 83.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
