The Republic of Corumm is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Brother Leader Linge Chen with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, zero percent divorce rate, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 25.196 billion Corummese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mirzak. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Corummian economy, worth an astonishing 10,190 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 404,437 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, Brother Leader Linge Chen lights cigars with a hundred-Lira bill, a signed affidavit from a prominent anti-corruption advocate declares that she is in fact a crook after all, and crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corumm's national animal is the Corummese Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the Cult of the Leader.

Corumm is ranked 9,178th in the world and 8th in Greater Ixnay for Most Stationary, with 2,491.94339126632 days.
