The District of Corner Stone is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 49.638 billion foundations 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 relatively small government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Welfare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 15.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Corner Stonean economy, worth a remarkable 3,833 trillion aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 77,233 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, tours to see the 'wild men of the mountains' are popular with tourists from the big cities, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, and the first half of cabinet meetings include Leader complaining about the reasonable nation theory (Corner Stone has found 3 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Corner Stone's national animal is the bovina, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Corner Stone is ranked 240,892^nd in the world and 1^st in Corner Stone for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 97.65 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
