The Republic of Cornoco is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.518 billion Cornocoans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The very strong Cornocoan economy, worth 101 trillion Cobs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 66,539 Cobs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 214,270 per year while the poor average 15,641, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, jumping in puddles after rainstorms has become an indoor activity, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, and schools offer a range of lessons in subjects as diverse as The Economics of Bullying for Lunch Money. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cornoco's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cornoco is ranked 287,463^rd in the world and 11^th in Beastland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
