The State of Corwin is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 15.008 billion Corwinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 40.2%.

The Corwinian economy, worth 501 trillion betales a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 33,424 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and Corwin has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corwin's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Corwin is ranked 94,410^th in the world and 1^st in the Republic of Cyprus for Largest Black Market, with 2.81 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
