The Republic of Curlyhoward is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 48.914 billion Curlyhowardians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government is primarily concerned with Environment, with Education, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Administration aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Curlyhowardian economy, worth a remarkable 2,438 trillion Larries a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,860 Larries, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, citizens are deeply regretting challenging the government to be honest about its intentions, in a fit of passion Leader has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, and Leader has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Curlyhoward's national animal is the Moe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Curlyhoward is ranked 12,423^rd in the world and 151^st in the Rejected Realms for Most Developed, scoring 89.34 on the Human Development Index.
