The Republic of Confertia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sascha-Vanessa Disse with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.779 billion Confertians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mirghan. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Confertian economy, worth 160 trillion Medars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,395 Medars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, refugees from other nations are flocking to Confertia's border, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, and married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Confertia's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Confertia is ranked 8,016^th in the world and 143^rd in 10000 Islands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,814.26 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
