The ʎɯɹ∀ lɐᴉɹoʇᴉɹɹǝ┴ of Corbeil is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Victor Fortune with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 26.779 billion Corbeilians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Valéry-en-Caux. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Corbeilian economy, worth a remarkable 3,592 trillion talens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 134,155 talens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The hills are alive with the sound of ringtones, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and credit scores fluctuate wildly with every change of government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corbeil's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unitarianism.

Corbeil is ranked 4,332^nd in the world and 84^th in the West Pacific for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 19,451.55 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
