The Rogue Nation of -Kurourushi- is a small, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 26 million curses everyone invited 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The basket case cockroach economy, worth 249 billion irons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,578 irons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Kurourushi-'s national animal is the cockroach.

-Kurourushi- is ranked 306,986^th in the world and 60^th in Timoria for Most Developed, scoring 41.42 on the Human Development Index.
