The Federated States of New Courania is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Marko Tadović with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, otherworldly petting zoo, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.136 billion Courans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Logano-Tenneras. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Couranese economy, worth 348 trillion evertonias a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,282 evertonias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are required to report any and all incidents of prayer to their local Religious Affairs Officer, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, the diplomatic corps stinks, and Marko Tadović's speeches are beloved by insomniacs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Courania's national animal is the red panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Courania is ranked 21,161^st in the world and 326^th in Europe for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 98.51 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
