The Revenant of Kors is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Thane V with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.837 billion Korsians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggsdrasil. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Korsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,604 trillion Candy Canes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 274,839 Candy Canes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A passport is literally priceless, Thane V can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, and the nation is wading into dangerous waters. Crime is totally unknown. Kors's national animal is the Korsian grizzly bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Taxidermy God.

Kors is ranked 2,166th in the world and 2nd in Aspen for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 98.53 Effective Tax Rate.
