The Republic of Gutiterra is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 389 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 30.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Gutiterran economy, worth 38.9 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 99,937 Pesetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, scaffolding is built around scaffolding to give safe access, Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits, and suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps. 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 175,319^th in the world and 3,226^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 81.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
