The Federal Republic of New Cora is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Arnold Kartet Mell with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.307 billion Corans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coraxia. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coran economy, worth 469 trillion coraks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 141,965 coraks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Cora's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Cora is ranked 278,057^th in the world and 5,976^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
