The Republic of Consoland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Consus Magnus with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.103 billion Consolandians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Consonia. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Consolandian economy, worth 313 trillion Consuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,056 Consuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, high food prices have reduced the national diet to staple foods and water, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, and a common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Consoland's national animal is the Axolotl, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is Cult of Consus.

Consoland is ranked 67,546^th in the world and 214^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Developed, scoring 71.53 on the Human Development Index.
