“La volontà del popolo è la legge suprema”

Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Courelli is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Governor Paolo Argentieri with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.293 billion Courellians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leoncavallo. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Courellian economy, worth a remarkable 3,057 trillion Callas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,956 Callas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

City workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism. Crime is totally unknown. Courelli's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Dalinism.

Courelli is ranked 14,326^th in the world and 17^th in The Social Liberal Union for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,391.55 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
