The Ultra-Ultra Hype of Corngold is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 673 million Corngoldians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Driennin. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Corngoldian economy, worth 60.6 trillion Failurecoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,097 Failurecoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, there's a bright dawn ahead for Corngold, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons. 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 18,856^th in the world and 102^nd in Refugia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,461.74 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
