The Republic of Kucia is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.315 billion Kucians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jekuch. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Kucian economy, worth a remarkable 3,506 trillion Kucian Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 214,910 Kucian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Official maps have to be revised on a weekly basis, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, and community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kucia's national animal is the Tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kucia is ranked 313,678^th in the world and 5,104^th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -11.58 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
