The Republicue of Kuraclandia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Don Verzich with a fair hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.365 billion Kuraclandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melne. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kuraclandian economy, worth 324 trillion Vinens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,354 Vinens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, and historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kuraclandia's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athrian Orthodox Chruch.

Kuraclandia is ranked 12,991^st in the world and 1^st in The International Council for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,729.14 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
