The Republic of Curlyhoward is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 43.911 billion Curlyhowardians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government prioritizes Environment, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Administration receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 61.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Curlyhowardian economy, worth a remarkable 2,259 trillion Larries a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,466 Larries, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, citizens are deeply regretting challenging the government to be honest about its intentions, and in a fit of passion Leader has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions. 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 204,672^nd in the world and 3,910^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 37.61 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
