The Yuqi Dynasty of Corsoaua is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Yoon Su-Hwa with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.669 billion Corsens are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taesung Island. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Corsen economy, worth a remarkable 4,904 trillion Teetans a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 507,202 Teetans, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

The passport doubles as a birth certificate, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, royal processions are often mistaken for pride parades, and behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Corsoaua's national animal is the Shikra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of Seowon.

Corsoaua is ranked 19,164th in the world and 19th in New Western Atlantic for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,216.41 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
