The Republic of -cule is a very large, genial nation, notable for its burgeoning dove population. The democratic population of 324 million -culeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Industry aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 15.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped -culean economy, worth 10.2 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,582 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent. -cule's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

-cule is ranked 263,114^th in the world and 1^st in Minuscule for Largest Black Market, with 122 billion Standard Monetary Units.
