The Empire of Kurou is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Ya boi with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.666 billion Kurouans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madril. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Kurouan economy, worth a remarkable 5,291 trillion Dank Memerinoes a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 299,530 Dank Memerinoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, and the crispy fried liver of a Synarch is prized as a tasty treat by vagrants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kurou's national animal is the Synarch, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Kurou is ranked 304,666th in the world and 5th in Night Rise for Most Cultured, scoring 24 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
