The Republic of Libcurl is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.515 billion Libcurlians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Libcurlian economy, worth 551 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,901 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Libcurl is often a lifetime appointment, foreign nationals are widely distrusted, and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Libcurl's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Libcurl is ranked 110,436^th in the world and 10^th in Londynium Naval Treaty for Largest Governments, scoring 15.78 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
