The Grand Duchy of Korsair is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 908 million Korsairians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Engwreath. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Korsairian economy, worth 176 trillion Doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 193,846 Doubloons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,345,262 per year while the poor average 9,772, a ratio of 137 to 1.

Leader panders to nontraditional families, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, the government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, and artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korsair's national animal is the Brain Parasite, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Korsair is ranked 54,862nd in the world and 1st in Limeclaw Waters for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,342.52 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
