The Grand Corndom of Corngold is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by President Snowy with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 840 million Corngoldians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blank Space. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Corngoldian economy, worth 84.7 trillion Grains a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,776 Grains, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Corngold, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, going on a diet invalidates your passport, and Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corngold's national animal is the Cyow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Corngold is ranked 21,108^th in the world and 103^rd in Refugia for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.17 percentage of bribes refused.
