The Ivy League University of Cornell is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 27.167 billion Cornellians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Cornellian economy, worth 430 trillion Ezras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 15,838 Ezras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cornell's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cornell is ranked 285,060^th in the world and 2^nd in The Flying Spaghetti Monster Lands for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 4,593.03 Standard Monetary Units.
