The Communal State of Curseword is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader Tea with a fair hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.22 billion Cursewordians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beiton. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cursewordian economy, worth 162 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 133,563 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, Cursewordians teach life's not worth a damn 'til you can shout out 'I am what I am', the nation is in perpetual campaign mode, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime is totally unknown. Curseword's national animal is the squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Curseword is ranked 26,817^th in the world and 265^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 97.59 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
