The State of Kurphalz is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, democratic population of 15.177 billion Kurphalzians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 10.2%.

The strong Kurphalzian economy, worth 856 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 56,438 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, Kurphalz's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Kurphalz in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kurphalz's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kurphalz is ranked 226,160^th in the world and 4^th in Berlin for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
