The Most Serene Republic of Concentus is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Concertmaster with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 1.198 billion Concentians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Concordia. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Concentian economy, worth 121 trillion Lyras a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,682 Lyras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Concentian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and posters on 'Concentian Values' advise against being proud of Concentus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Concentus's national animal is the Songbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Concentus is ranked 4,461^st in the world and 149^th in The East Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 99.82 Bank.
