The Republic of Confertia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sascha-Vanessa Disse with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.784 billion Confertians 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mirghan. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Confertian economy, worth 161 trillion Medars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,461 Medars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nothing gets the party jumping like Sascha-Vanessa Disse specifying how high, autocrats are persona non grata, Mirghan's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Confertia's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Confertia is ranked 281,591^st in the world and 740^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12.25 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
