The Crowned Republic of Hicuria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mikael Von Hikuria IV with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 4.833 billion Hicurians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lakarri. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hicurian economy, worth 819 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,617 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hicuria's national animal is the Sparrow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hikuria Cristanitia.

Hicuria is ranked 7,930^th in the world and 115^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Poor Incomes, with 135,862.48 Standard Monetary Units.
