The Abandoned ExNation of Cornessee is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Old King Corni Corn Corn Corn with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.83 billion Cornesseeans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cobb. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Cornesseean economy, worth a remarkable 1,174 trillion Cornessee coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 79,214 Cornessee coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 289,061 per year while the poor average 15,413, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cornessee's national animal is the Cornessee Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cornchipist Fundamentalists.
