The Republic of Kubricko is a mammoth, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The cynical, devout population of 6.458 billion Kubrickoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.3%.

The powerhouse Kubrickoan economy, worth 588 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,086 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Kubricko City, and the government has declared that sharing is uncaring. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kubricko's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kubricko is ranked 159,056^th in the world and 7^th in Calefacta Aquas Piscinae for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,294.91 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
