The Republic of Kucia is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 4.243 billion Kucians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Defense, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jekuch. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kucian economy, worth 638 trillion Kucian Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,382 Kucian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, diplomats in Kucia are furious at constant police surveillance, sentient AIs face their watery graves with a fixed smile, and national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kucia's national animal is the Tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kucia is ranked 4,237^th in the world and 93^rd in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 60.27 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
