The People's Republic of Korikan is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its digital currency, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 563 million Korikanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Polosand City. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Korikanian economy, worth 52.0 trillion Credits 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 92,381 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are often seen attending regional history classes at primary schools within their constituencies, rural Korikanians stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, posters on 'Korikanian Values' advise against being proud of Korikan, and foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korikan's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Korikan is ranked 63,888^th in the world and 215^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 97.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
