Foreign policy-wise, the Corummese often like to take the long view and be cautious, which has led to accusations of being fence sitters and unprincipled in foreign affairs. Despite this, Corumm is considered a major power broker at the [[League of Nations]] where its diplomats are always carefully maneuvering and negotiating to push through or sink various initiatives. Corumm is also a nuclear power, developing its own arsenal in the 1960's and demonstrating its willingness to adopt a first strike policy, most recently in the [[atomic bombing of Shimrra]]. Politically the country is dominated by the [[Party of Corummese Democrats]] which has won every election since [[Linge Chen]]s election in 1992. Internally Corumm is a vertically arranged state, with an all powerful office of Chancellor at the cusp wielding absolute power and authority, with virtually no checks and balances. The rule of the PCD is safeguarded by a potent and cruel military and pervasive security forces which keep a tight, choking grip on all sectors of society, even abroad. Historically, relations with its neighbors have been plagued by conflict and mistrust but this is changing in recent times. The people of Corumm are highly suspicious of foreigners and their barbaric customs and hold fast to several xenophobic attitudes. | Foreign policy-wise, the Corummese often like to take the long view and be cautious, which has led to accusations of being fence sitters and unprincipled in foreign affairs.

==Etymology== | |||
The etymology of the name Corumm is relatively well known. It is widely believed to be a derivation of the name Korun, identified in stone tables dating back to 5,000 BCE to be a location in central Corumm, specifically a mountain. These historical texts make reference to Korun as both a historical region and in the instance of the Korun mountain as the mythological home to the gods of an old pagan religion. The morphing of the word and pronunciation seems to have taken sometime in the late 1,000's possibly to disassociate the name from its religious connotation. The name Corumm was from then on associated with the polity of central Corumm that would slowly branch out in other directions. | |||

The Corummese meat industry is the largest of the sector in [[Alshar]]. The corummese beef market is estimated an approximate 200 billion taler, owing to a diet traditionally heavy on meat. Favorable conditions including vast grazing areas, government subsidies and campaigns to promote meat eating have contribuited to the sector going from strength to strength. Growth and demand of the sector is being fed by the introduction of meat cuts into north [[Crona]] diets via new retail channels, the availability of extra grazing areas in [[Xisheng]] and [[Tanhai]] and favorable export agreements with various international clients. The majority of the sector's leading companies are members of the [[Federation of Corummese Beef Producers]], a cartel like organization that controls most commercial aspects of the beef industry. | The Corummese meat industry is the largest of the sector in [[Alshar]].
