The Democratic Republic of Cornolia is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.068 billion Cornolians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Netz. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cornolian economy, worth 59.9 trillion Cornilian Dinars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 56,127 Cornilian Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cornolia's national animal is the Goldfinch, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cornolia is ranked 44,816^th in the world and 97^th in Christians for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 48.85 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
