The Republic of Corcaw is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.319 billion Corcawians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corcaw City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Corcawian economy, worth a remarkable 3,389 trillion Tollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 207,699 Tollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, an increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat, hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, and the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen. Crime is totally unknown. Corcaw's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Corcaw is ranked 28,090^th in the world and 1,117^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 26.51 Flags saluted per person per day.
