The Holy Pink of Kortit is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Troc with a fair hand, and notable for its digital currency, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.418 billion Under 30 MVers 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, corrupt, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deck. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient A Card economy, worth 715 trillion Brains a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 161,870 Brains, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kortit's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, and everybody's got wood thanks to Troc. Crime is totally unknown. Kortit's national animal is the Ghost, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Deck Value.

Kortit is ranked 316,375th in the world and 159th in The Wellspring for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.37 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
