The United Socialist States of Cortath is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.33 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
Surveillance cameras are banned, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', major cities are suffering under water rationing, and the Supreme Court protects civil rights and the right to privacy vehemently. Crime is relatively low. Cortath's national animal is the Wandering Nomad, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Sovereign.
