The Democratic Republic of Cornolia is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 932 million Cornolians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Netz. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cornolian economy, worth 49.3 trillion Cornilian Dinars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 52,946 Cornilian Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor, concerned environmentalists wipe away their tears with tissues sourced from Tasmanian old-growth redwoods, the police double as repo men, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Cornolia in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cornolia's national animal is the Goldfinch, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cornolia is ranked 82,990^th in the world and 177^th in Christians for Highest Poor Incomes, with 36,614.63 Standard Monetary Units.
