The Democratic States of Cubevera is a mid-sized, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 62 million Cubeverans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Cubeveran economy, worth 2.98 trillion Cubeses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 48,105 Cubeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's always rabbit season, foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cubevera's national animal is the penguin.

Cubevera is ranked 22,474^th in the world and 88^th in Carcassonne for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.15 percentage of bribes refused.
