The Democratic Republic of Cornolia is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.004 billion Cornolians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Netz. The average income tax rate is 51.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cornolian economy, worth 54.3 trillion Cornilian Dinars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 54,080 Cornilian Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service, war criminals are given full state funerals, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cornolia's national animal is the Goldfinch, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cornolia is ranked 260,501^st in the world and 292^nd in Christians for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
