The Empire of Kuronias is a tiny, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7 million Kuroniasians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.9%.

The strong Kuroniasian economy, worth 416 billion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 59,554 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

Harry Potter books are banned, formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming, Leader is famed for giving great back rubs, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is moderate. Kuronias's national animal is the beaver.

Kuronias is ranked 235,150^th in the world and 72^nd in Timoria for Safest, scoring 40.05 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
