The State of Couldrey is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.419 billion Couldreyians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 7.1%.

The strong Couldreyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,453 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 43,488 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

All tariffs have been abolished, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, gambling is outlawed, and Couldrey has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate. Couldrey's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Couldrey is ranked 232,675^th in the world and 249^th in 0000 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
