The People's Republic of Koressya is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.499 billion Koressyans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The powerhouse Koressyan economy, worth 380 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 58,543 florins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 365,351 per year while the poor average 3,999, a ratio of 91.3 to 1.

Foreign ambassadors are accused of stealing Koressyan jobs, the nation's smallest catball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, and families are only permitted to have one child. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Koressya's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Koressya is ranked 275,163^rd in the world and 1,809^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
