The Kingdom of Kuribo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Bowser with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.263 billion Kuribans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bowser's Castle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Kuriboan economy, worth a remarkable 5,886 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 305,563 Coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,807,081 per year while the poor average 3,457, a ratio of 811 to 1.

Farm turkeys are given high doses of antidepressants to take their minds off the holiday season, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, sociologists ponder how baby-napped ethnic minority 'runaways' could have gone so bad so soon, and a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kuribo's national animal is the Piranha Plant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Peach.

Kuribo is ranked 52,829^th in the world and 842^nd in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,406.96 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
