The Socialist Republic of Corleson is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by TBD with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 3.802 billion Colemen are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bucharest. The average income tax rate is 64.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Corlesonian economy, worth 174 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 45,820 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, billions of Marks are being poured into a space program, the government is avowedly secular, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corleson's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Corleson is ranked 159,778^th in the world and 14^th in Moonveil for Largest Populations, with 3.80 billion capita.
