The Democratic Republic of Concordant is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 571 million Concordians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rajapur. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Concordantian economy, worth 46.6 trillion Concordian Dollars a year, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,537 Concordian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, out-of-work actors say they can't complain, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Concordant's national animal is the Concordian Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Concordant is ranked 8,207^th in the world and 23^rd in The League for Safest, scoring 122.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
