The Republic of Curiea is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 8.139 billion Curieans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Curiean economy, worth a remarkable 5,821 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 715,305 currencies, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Curiea City's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, companies are literally blowing their competition out of the water, and it's said that any enemy of democracy is a friend to Leader. Crime is totally unknown. Curiea's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Curiea is ranked 4,611th in the world and 28th in Vickenian experiment incubator for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 96.04 Effective Tax Rate.
