The Empire of Kuriko is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Aelia Murena with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 18.147 billion Lenlyvitians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Lenlyvitian economy, worth 672 trillion Lens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 37,012 Lens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kuriko City University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, religious officials are furious after discovering that things made of stone do not burn well at the stake, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, and investigative reports into the government's latest violation of civilian rights are stored in the fiction aisle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kuriko's national animal is the Lenlyvalk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kuriko is ranked 105,243^rd in the world and 209^th in 10000 Islands for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.27 percentage of bribes refused.
