The Republic of Gunouternial is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 704 million Gunouternials are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaeloria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.4%.

The all-consuming Gunouternial economy, worth 59.9 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 85,100 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, there is one competing standard, cheap and tasteless vegetables flood the markets, and pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gunouternial's national animal is the Black Panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gunouternial is ranked 81,535^th in the world and 79^th in Aeternum for Highest Average Incomes, with 85,100.14 Standard Monetary Units.
