The Republic of Curlyhoward is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 45.09 billion Curlyhowardians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government is primarily concerned with Environment, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Administration receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Curlyhowardian economy, worth a remarkable 2,367 trillion Larries a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,508 Larries, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, citizens are deeply regretting challenging the government to be honest about its intentions, and in a fit of passion Leader has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Curlyhoward's national animal is the Moe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Curlyhoward is ranked 315,520^th in the world and 5,183^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -16.79 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
