The Republic of Coroin is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 497 million Coroinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pakat. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Coroinian economy, worth 29.8 trillion COROES a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 60,048 COROES, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions of COROES are being poured into a space program, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, and the government is buying children's books by the thousands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coroin's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Coroin is ranked 240,500^th in the world and 514^th in Communitas for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
