The Confederation of Curica is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 8.774 billion Curicans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shamiyah. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Curican economy, worth a remarkable 1,187 trillion Quos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 135,393 Quos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Senior citizens are often found slaving away in factories, there's no representation without taxation, engineers preemptively order lawyers after every power cut, and even secular Curicans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!". Crime is totally unknown. Curica's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Curica is ranked 9,229^th in the world and 518^th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 13,540.43 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
