The Republic of Curlyhoward is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 32.737 billion Curlyhowardians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Curlyhowardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,375 trillion Larries a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,005 Larries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Psychological disorders are a taboo subject, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, the government has completely eliminated all childcare programs, and libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Curlyhoward's national animal is the Moe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Curlyhoward is ranked 4,525^th in the world and 123^rd in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,660.73 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
