The Commonwealth of Concordien is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by the Captain with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, vat-grown people, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.988 billion Concordians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anchoran. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Concordian economy, worth 584 trillion aures 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 97,625 aures, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dinosaur breeders have a yabba-dabba-doo gay old time in Concordien, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, and the government pours millions of aures into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Concordien's national animal is the brown bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Concordien is ranked 124,490th in the world and 2,295th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 278.16754419488 days.
