The People's Republic of Costanzastan is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 641 million Costanzastanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Costanzastanian economy, worth 32.9 trillion Festivuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 51,337 Festivuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, the country has unplugged its internet connection to prevent subversive content, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Costanzastan's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Costanzastan is ranked 208,039^th in the world and 81^st in Liberty Islands for Fattest Citizens, with 9.15 Obesity Rate.
