The Ultra-Ultra Hype of Corngold is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 708 million Corngoldians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Driennin. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Corngoldian economy, worth 65.3 trillion Failurecoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,280 Failurecoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corngold's national animal is the Cyow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Corngold is ranked 131,845^th in the world and 49^th in Refugia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,294.63 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
