The Federation of Kurikia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alexi Malakov with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, triple-decker prams, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.179 billion Kurikians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Healthcare, with Defense, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markovgrad. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kurikian economy, worth 782 trillion Kurikian Rubles a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,004 Kurikian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, and parole board directors light up a joint before telling hash-brownie baking grannies that they have to stay behind bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kurikia's national animal is the birb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Kurikia is ranked 71,742^nd in the world and 1,481^st in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 95.42 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
