The Republic of Gutiterra is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 318 million Gutiterrans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gutilda. The average income tax rate is 28.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Gutiterran economy, worth 32.1 trillion Pesetas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,882 Pesetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Murderers with law degrees can be seen swinging the gavel in courts, ghost regiments exist only on paper, all screens are equal but some are more equal than others, and group hugs break out during floor votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gutiterra's national animal is the Suricata, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gutiterra is ranked 37,755^th in the world and 901^st in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 18.02 average smiles per day.
