Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Egalitarian Nation of Curry Butt is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Deus Ragno with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.639 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Progress. The average income tax rate is 96%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Max Barry is this year's Miss Curry Butt, the arms industry has been shut down in a surge of pacifism, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and Curry Butt's famous countrysides are shrouded by wind farms. Crime is totally unknown. Curry Butt's national animal is the Peregrin Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Credit.

Curry Butt is ranked 1st in Thermopolis and 3,947th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 13 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
