The Revenant of Kors is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Thane V with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.442 billion Korsians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

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 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Korsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,406 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 258,467 Candy Canes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers. 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 315,366th in the world and 156th in Aspen for Most Primitive, scoring -1022.1 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
