The Kingdom of Current is a small, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 29 million Currentians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.0%.

The thriving Currentian economy, worth 2.29 trillion gold coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 79,073 gold coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, children aren't allowed to chew their pencils until they get home from school, Currentians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Current's national animal is the Orca, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Current is ranked 227,796^th in the world and 3^rd in Surge for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 267.93 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
