The Republic of Concordare is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Peretor with an even hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, unlimited-speed roads, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 28.551 billion Concordarans 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centauria. The average income tax rate is 5.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Concordaran economy, worth a remarkable 9,230 trillion Dinars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 323,283 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, and a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect. Crime is totally unknown. Concordare's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Numenism.

Concordare is ranked 43,233rd in the world and 481st in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
