The Rogue Nation of Corcoran Base is a tiny, cultured nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 16 million Corcoran Baseans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The very strong Corcoran Basean economy, worth 1.22 trillion standard cash credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 76,212 standard cash credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 224,607 per year while the poor average 20,348, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, high school bands practice by moonlight, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, and the Corcoran Basean Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime is relatively low. Corcoran Base's national animal is the oilliphéist.

Corcoran Base is ranked 92,257^th in the world and 1,430^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 76,212.15 Standard Monetary Units.
