The Revenant of Kors is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Thane V with a fair hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.522 billion Korsians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggsdrasil. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Korsian economy, worth a remarkable 3,279 trillion Candy Canes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 344,408 Candy Canes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, and the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia. Crime is totally unknown. Kors's national animal is the Korsian grizzly bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Taxidermy God.

Kors is ranked 927th in the world and 1st in Astellaria for Most Developed, scoring 98.65 on the Human Development Index.
