The Republic of Courelli is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Governor Paolo Argentieri with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 20.386 billion Courellians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Sereno. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Courellian economy, worth a remarkable 3,897 trillion callas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 191,192 callas, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, and Porto Sereno consists only of government buildings and the mansions of government janitors. Crime is totally unknown. Courelli's national animal is the golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Dalinism.

Courelli is ranked 12,622^nd in the world and 10^th in The Social Liberal Union for Highest Average Incomes, with 191,192.96 Standard Monetary Units.
