The Vampire Gatekeeper of Kurumi is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 3.687 billion Kurumians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Environment also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 37.8%.

The large but inefficient Kurumian economy, worth 151 trillion florins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,998 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign militaries are taking a particular interest in the nation's abandoned borders and cities, art criticism in Kurumi is scathingly destructive, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, and the team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Kurumi's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kurumi is ranked 99,912th in the world and 547th in Remembrance for Safest, scoring 82.65 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
