The Republic of Corkingham is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning wolf population. The hard-working population of 5.177 billion Corkinghamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.2%.

The Corkinghamian economy, worth 241 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 46,623 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corkingham's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Corkingham is ranked 235,088^th in the world and 1^st in Rocs Pearch for Most Developed, scoring 52.68 on the Human Development Index.
