The Republic of Courelli is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Paolo Argentieri with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 19.972 billion Courellians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Sereno. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Courellian economy, worth a remarkable 3,799 trillion callas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 190,234 callas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, nefarious Blackacrean surveillance has been replaced with patriotic Courellian surveillance, and preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government. Crime is totally unknown. Courelli's national animal is the golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Dalinism.

Courelli is ranked 2,949^th in the world and 5^th in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 54,541.16 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
