The Illustrious Nation of Coredona is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Cordelia with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate population of 4.407 billion Coredonans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Avalon. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coredonan economy, worth 442 trillion Chocolate Coins a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,329 Chocolate Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, there's a hole in the heart of every Coredonan city, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, and the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coredona's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Coredona is ranked 246,454^th in the world and 1,252^nd in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.01 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
