The Holy Empire of Not Kortexia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning Lion population. The hard-working population of 18.203 billion Not Kortexians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 19.5%.

The Not Kortexian economy, worth 793 trillion Anti-Codices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,609 Anti-Codices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, surveillance cameras are banned, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Not Kortexia's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Not Kortexia is ranked 159,518^th in the world and 5^th in Kortexian Tech Barracks for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 795.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
