The Free Merchant Republic of Corcelia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Maestro Andrea Pirlo with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 4.924 billion Corcelians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cittadella di Corcelia. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Corcelian economy, worth 523 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,322 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, and Corcelians have recently stopped mysteriously setting off metal detectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corcelia's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianism.

Corcelia is ranked 22,540^th in the world and 2^nd in Venice for Most Secular, with 48.45 Atheism Rate.
