The Republic of Curlyhoward is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 39.818 billion Curlyhowardians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government prioritizes Environment, with Law & Order, Education, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Administration aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Curlyhowardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,825 trillion Larries a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,837 Larries, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and citizens are deeply regretting challenging the government to be honest about its intentions. 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 551^st in the world and 10^th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 4,875.66354624 days.
