The Republic of -cule is a very large, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning dove population. The democratic population of 318 million -culeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. The average income tax rate is 15.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped -culean economy, worth 10.0 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,582 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent. -cule's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

-cule is ranked 83,388^th in the world and 3^rd in Minuscule for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
