The Worthless Pawn of Kuramia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Loki with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 24.845 billion Kuramians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and International Aid. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lokiarchaeota. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kuramian economy, worth a remarkable 1,207 trillion addas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,592 addas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kuramia's national animal is the liluye, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kuramia is ranked 23,548^th in the world and 249^th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 21.52 average smiles per day.
