The People's Republic of Kuldi is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Herra with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 973 million Kuldians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Styrkur. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kuldian economy, worth 65.8 trillion coins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,617 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, newspapers are running a front-page picture of Prime Minister Herra holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, Prime Minister Herra is famed for giving great back rubs, and social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kuldi's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kuldi is ranked 9,683^rd in the world and 550^th in The North Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,692.03 Tourists Per Hour.
