The Arling of Corridan is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Arl Henli vos Corrina with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, triple-decker prams, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.117 billion Corridanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alorran. The average income tax rate is 19.1%.

The Corridanian economy, worth 862 trillion kamas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 65,766 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, torture is illegal, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, and wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Corridan's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Corridan is ranked 128,132^nd in the world and 2^nd in Dominica for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 909.4 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
