The Commonwealth of Kurbelandia is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 210 million Kurbelandians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 32.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Kurbelandian economy, worth 6.38 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,359 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Hanging Gardens account for half of Kurbelandia City's water use, the government has been criticized for giving away Kurbelandia's territory to anyone who claims it, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and retail stores offer sales every hour on the hour. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kurbelandia's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kurbelandia is ranked 260,751^st in the world and 357^th in Astoria for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.73 kickbacks per hour.
