The Empire of Corsaria is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Mataii with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 47.145 billion Corsarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corsaria City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Corsarian economy, worth an astonishing 22,815 trillion Cors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 483,936 Cors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Empress Mataii reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', builders across Corsaria are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corsaria's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Corsaria is ranked 346,402nd in the world and 2nd in Katasia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -52.4 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
