The Empire of Cornucopium is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sunny with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.58 billion Cornucopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Violet. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cornucopian economy, worth 215 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 136,653 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, and the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cornucopium's national animal is the Cougar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cornucopium is ranked 218,005th in the world and 509th in Concord for Most Extreme, scoring 13.59 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
