The Shadow Republic of Curo is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.049 billion Curoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Curanio. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The all-consuming Curoanian economy, worth 110 trillion Yukis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,517 Yukis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 326,810 per year while the poor average 26,248, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

Heartwarming sentiments are even hotter now, increasing numbers of children in Curo have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Curo's national animal is the Curoan Rusak, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Curo is ranked 289,172^nd in the world and 16^th in Torkeland card farm for Nudest, with 30.75 cheeks per square mile.
