The Grand Duchy of Nova Corrisia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand Sovereign Rowan Von Avon with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.479 billion Corrisians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durovernum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Corrisian economy, worth 215 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 145,760 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, and modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova Corrisia's national animal is the Mudkip, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Methodism.

Nova Corrisia is ranked 6,780^th in the world and 7^th in The UMNS for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 93.51 Effective Tax Rate.
