The Housekeeper of Corin Wickes is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed population of 8.847 billion Corin Wickesians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 36.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Corin Wickesian economy, worth 598 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,644 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", and the entire entry for Corin Wickes in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corin Wickes's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Corin Wickes is ranked 71,386^th in the world and 149^th in Remembrance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,417.95 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
