The Democratic Republic of Photosphere Chromosphere and Corona is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sol with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.89 billion Coronanights hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Core. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Photosphere Chromosphere and Coronan economy, worth a remarkable 1,538 trillion Solar Flares and Solar Winds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 194,941 Solar Flares and Solar Winds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, and new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Photosphere Chromosphere and Corona's national animal is the Ceylon Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Photosphere Chromosphere and Corona is ranked 6,326^th in the world and 289^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 149 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
