The Queer Crowned Republic of Coral Sea Archipelago is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Dale II with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.91 billion Coral Sea Islanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castella. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coral Sea economy, worth 205 trillion Dorothy marks 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 Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 107,556 Dorothy marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Coral Sea weed picker are way up, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, and rumor has it that Emperor Dale II has won three lotteries in a row. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coral Sea Archipelago's national animal is the Swedish Indigo Blue Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Secularism.

Coral Sea Archipelago is ranked 274,064^th in the world and 242^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.7 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
