The Republic of Coruscant is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 24.231 billion Coruscantians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Defense is also considered important, while Spirituality and Administration receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving Coruscantian economy, worth 921 trillion Galactic Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 38,025 Galactic Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 110,126 per year while the poor average 10,405, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Coruscant's national animal is the Dewback, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Coruscant is ranked 109,156^th in the world and 8^th in Spear Danes for Highest Food Quality, scoring 21.39 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
