The Principality of Cornwallis Bay is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prince Benjamin I with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.258 billion Cornwallisians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital District. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Cornwallis Bayian economy, worth a remarkable 1,276 trillion shillings 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 175,925 shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, the standard police uniform now comes with several colours of belt, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, and badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cornwallis Bay's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Cornwallis Bay is ranked 43,411^th in the world and 255^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Patriotic, with 30.58 flags saluted per person per day.
