The Republic of Coroin is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, ban on automobiles, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, democratic population of 433 million Coroinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pakat. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Coroinian economy, worth 24.8 trillion COROES a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 57,296 COROES, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, and hit TV comedies "The Big Government Theory" and "Young Leader" have high ratings but low quality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coroin's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Coroin is ranked 53,472^nd in the world and 67^th in Communitas for Highest Poor Incomes, with 52,861.97 Standard Monetary Units.
