The Democratic States of Corsetopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Jenna with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, soft-spoken computers, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 43.272 billion Corsetopians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The tiny, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 4.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Corsetopian economy, worth an astonishing 11,681 trillion Mooks 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 mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 269,963 Mooks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, those who investigate UFOs tend to wake up delirious on abandoned roads, politicians frequently make unusual poses during speeches in hopes of inspiring the next internet fad, and signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Corsetopian justice. Crime is totally unknown. Corsetopia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Asatru.

Corsetopia is ranked 2,010th in the world and 32nd in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 347.6 kickbacks per hour.
