The State of Consola is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Grand Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.206 billion Consolans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Congrad. The average income tax rate is 34.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Consolan economy, worth 392 trillion Colivares 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 Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. 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 122,362 Colivares, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Consolans believe the only thing that will make you happy is being unhappy with who you are, left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks, getting a haircut is a punishable offence, and the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces". Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Consola's national animal is the Consolan Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Consola is ranked 19,130th in the world and 1st in Consol Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 103.8 kickbacks per hour.
