The Republic of Nova Corinna is a tiny, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12 million Nova Corinnans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The very strong Nova Corinnan economy, worth 839 billion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 69,986 florins, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Nova Corinna's national animal is the emu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Nova Corinna is ranked 86,832^nd in the world and 425^th in the Outback for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,691.16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
