The Commonwealth of Cornucopium is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Addison Rae with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.543 billion Copians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Violet. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Cornucopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,088 trillion Marigold Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 196,381 Marigold Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, there are increasing complaints that male AI assistants have aggressive voices, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, and the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cornucopium's national animal is the Cougar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cornucopium is ranked 330,681^st in the world and 1,247^th in Concord for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 16.76 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
