The Theocracy of Culdi is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.762 billion Culdians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Culdian economy, worth a remarkable 2,055 trillion crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 174,733 crowns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 695,812 per year while the poor average 29,556, a ratio of 23.5 to 1.

In distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days, sports club owners are having a moneyball, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Culdi's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Culdi is ranked 9,852^nd in the world and 6^th in Albion for Smartest Citizens, with 93.02 quips per hour.
