The Empire of Corsaria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Mataii with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 43.107 billion Corsarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corsaria City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The strong Corsarian economy, worth an astonishing 15,922 trillion Cors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 369,369 Cors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, the endangered saltwater humpback Tiger is only seen in captivity programs, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, and Max Barry is this year's Miss Corsaria. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corsaria's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Corsaria is ranked 313,162^nd in the world and 3^rd in Katasia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -79.03 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
