The Theocracy of Culdi is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Archbishop Blaze with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 20.989 billion Culdians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Culdian economy, worth a remarkable 6,101 trillion crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 290,678 crowns, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Girls who wear lipstick are berated for pandering to male gazes, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, there are no more heroes any more, and voters must decide whether to go number one or number two. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Culdi's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Jormunrism.

Culdi is ranked 22,696^th in the world and 4^th in Albion for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 4,505.01 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
