The Democratic People's Queendom of Corsoaua is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Yoon Su-Hwa with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.74 billion Corsens are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taesung Island. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Corsen economy, worth a remarkable 4,943 trillion Teetans a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 507,531 Teetans, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Corsoaua's national animal is the Shikra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of Seowon.

Corsoaua is ranked 281,226th in the world and 33rd in New Western Atlantic for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 27.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
