The Republic of Coroin is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 444 million Coroinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pakat. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Coroinian economy, worth 25.6 trillion COROES a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 57,764 COROES, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Being Leader has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, every week is blindness awareness week, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coroin's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Coroin is ranked 157,828^th in the world and 327^th in Communitas for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 524.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
