The Federation of Corisant is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 259 million Corisantians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Corisantian economy, worth 13.9 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 53,703 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, the law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it, and the sanitised and dull music festivals of Corisant are famed for their reasonable volume levels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Corisant's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Corisant is ranked 7,308^th in the world and 186^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,407.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
