The Republic of Courelli is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Governor Paolo Argentieri with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.288 billion Courellians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leoncavallo. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Courellian economy, worth a remarkable 3,056 trillion Callas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,956 Callas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

City workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism. Crime is totally unknown. Courelli's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Dalinism.

Courelli is ranked 2,520^th in the world and 15^th in The Social Liberal Union for Highest Food Quality, scoring 261.74 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
