Culiacan, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Culiacan (Culiacanan: República Democrática Popular de Culiacán) is a sovereign country in southwest Marudin in Teremara. It is bordered to the east by Chibalba and to the south by Madurin Sea. The country is bound between two rivers which serve as natural geographic barriers, the Santalaria River in the east and the Salazar River in the west, along with the Cuellar Range in the north. The population of Culiacan is 52,701,592 as of the 2024 census. It is a unicameral socialist democracy with single party rule.

Aboriginal peoples first appeared in the archaeological record around 25000 BCE, with hunter-gatherers making use of the lush tropical rainforests for foodstuffs. Agriculture was not developed in Culiacan until relativley late, around 8000 BCE according to the records. Waystations for transporting maize and tobacco led to the development of settlements along the two river banks, with the ancient city of Xa'poltecunzl (modern day Carabanchel) forming around 4100 BCE. Tribal kingdoms led by warlords began appearing in the 4th millennium BCE, with territories waxing and waning over the next 3,000 years. In 275 BCE, the warrior-king Attlatonin united the disparate clans and formed the unified Culiacanan Empire, a nation that would exist unbroken until forces from Espicuta conquered the Empire and colonized the land in 1571 CE. The Espicutans would remain in Culiacan for the next 230+ years, contending with trade ports founded by the Roman Federation of States along the coast, only relinquishing control to the Culiacanan Catholic Church in 1805 CE. The Church instituted its own monarchy over the restless population, proving to be as unpopular as the Espicutan colonizers had. In 1912, an excommunicated former priest-turned-revolutionary named Alejandro Santiago Alcázar de Aluche rose up and led a successful socialist revolution, toppling Carabanchel in 1915 and forming the basis of the state that exists to the present, achieving some of its revolutionary aims while forsaking or reneging on others.

Culiacan is the world's first and (as of 2024) only Alcazarist single-party socialist state, having been founded during the Alcazarist Revolution of 1912-1915. It exerts political control over its population, though some democratic elements were introduced to afford citizenry a choice at the ballot box. The country boasts near-universal literacy and quality healthcare as achievements of the Revolution, though human rights organizations note the continued persecution of persons of religious faith in the country, with the formerly-ubiquitous Culiacanan Catholic Church having been forced underground. The country boasts a high human developmental index score with universal basic income, universal healthcare and pre-K education, and reduced tuition to public and vocational schools. The state is a moderate regional power thanks to its military spending, which accounts for 4% of the national GDP.
