The Social Democracy of Old Corus is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Steering Committee with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.495 billion Coruscans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corus. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coruscan economy, worth 732 trillion Dollars 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 97,704 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists are flocking to the newly-built MeteorLand family resort, the government is sending thousands of citizens overseas to defend a square mile of land, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, and clothing with a scarlet S is popular among repentant body shamers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Corus's national animal is the Coween, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Old Corus is ranked 27,254^th in the world and 330^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 110.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
