The Social Democracy of Old Corus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Executive Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.045 billion Coruscans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corus. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coruscan economy, worth 274 trillion Dollars 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 90,127 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination", and a government program is underway to revitalize Old Corus's beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Corus's national animal is the Coween, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Old Corus is ranked 34,376th in the world and 543rd in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
