The United Socialist States of Corby is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Elliott The Great with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.526 billion Corbyians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pazatralatia. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Corbyian economy, worth 255 trillion Wards a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,000 Wards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Stun grenade flashes and assault weapon fire form the expected nocturnal soundscape of Corby, atheists on vacation find Christianity's scriptures make useful doorstops, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and journalists giggle uncontrollably while reporting the nation's drug bonfires. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corby's national animal is the Osprey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.
Corby is ranked 40,725th in the world and 142nd in Concord for Safest, scoring 105.35 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
