The Dominion of Gaias Butt is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 5.62 billion Gaias Buttians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gaias Buttian economy, worth 388 trillion Birbs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,195 Birbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, a soldier's body is a temple, failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, and confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaias Butt's national animal is the Archaeopteryx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gaias Butt is ranked 29,244^th in the world and 1,105^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
