The Democratic Republic of Conteria is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.234 billion Conterians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Conterian economy, worth 81.7 trillion conteses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 66,180 conteses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, and laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Conteria's national animal is the falcon.

Conteria is ranked 170,039^th in the world and 7,319^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.19 Obesity Rate.
