The Serene Dominion of Fort Concord is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Rhaza with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 4.047 billion Fort Concordians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lawrence. The average income tax rate is 79.7%.

The large but inefficient Fort Concordian economy, worth 159 trillion dollars 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 led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 39,381 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fort Concord's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Concordian Catholicism.

Fort Concord is ranked 73,647^th in the world and 136^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,508.96 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
