The Federation of Kurgerszia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Oleksandr Yankovich with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.832 billion Kurgerszians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gazeth. The average income tax rate is 38.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kurgerszian economy, worth 86.8 trillion Milints a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 47,361 Milints, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, increasing numbers of children in Kurgerszia have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, and coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kurgerszia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Greek Orthodoxy.

Kurgerszia is ranked 138,168^th in the world and 53^rd in Arctica for Highest Food Quality, scoring 16.89 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
