The Republic of Coriai is a huge, safe nation, ruled by The Chosen One with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, triple-decker prams, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 992 million Coriaians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The medium-sized, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coriai City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.3%.

The powerhouse Coriaian economy, worth 104 trillion CSDS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,467 CSDS, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, The Chosen One is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, war criminals are given full state funerals, and local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coriai's national animal is the Coriaian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Coriai is ranked 22,920^th in the world and 349^th in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,112.08 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
