The State of Kulturrat is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 14.137 billion Kulturratians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 15.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kulturratian economy, worth 709 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 50,204 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, Kulturrat has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kulturrat's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kulturrat is ranked 88,705^th in the world and 1^st in Kulturrat for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,433.18 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
