The Empire of Corsterianian is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its aversion to nipples, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 429 million Corsterianianians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corster City. The average income tax rate is 44.1%.

The powerhouse Corsterianianian economy, worth 41.5 trillion Corsterbucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 96,833 Corsterbucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians fear the otherworldly wrath of poorly made cheese, discarded pennies litter the streets, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and baseball caps are the new fashion trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corsterianian's national animal is the Goat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Corsterianian is ranked 121,507^th in the world and 242^nd in Carcassonne for Most Authoritarian, with 844.56 milliStalins.
