The Kingdom of Cour Land is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.4 billion Courishes are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ringed City. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cour Landian economy, worth 99.7 trillion Souls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 71,230 Souls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, and the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cour Land's national animal is the Locust, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cour Land is ranked 85,440th in the world and 1,284th in the South Pacific for Most Average, scoring 42.6 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
