The Most Serene Republic of Kurolera is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ismael Hayat with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.753 billion Kurolerans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hichimenahochi. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kuroleran economy, worth 498 trillion Bird Tears a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 132,724 Bird Tears, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks, claiming that "my cousin said it was legal" is a common courtroom defense, military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, and newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kurolera's national animal is the Demon Tokimori, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is True Plant.

Kurolera is ranked 7,817^th in the world and 123^rd in the West Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,499.33 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
