The Democratic People's Republic of Jutterland is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Gunar Liepiņs with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.356 billion Jutterins are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kefflestadten. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Jutterin economy, worth a remarkable 1,868 trillion Jutterin Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 180,400 Jutterin Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 521,705 per year while the poor average 49,463, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

It's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, Kefflestadten University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, the only way to escape lengthy prison terms is in a body bag, and Gunar Liepiņs's reputation is hard as nails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jutterland's national animal is the Eurasian Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Jutterism.

Jutterland is ranked 43,442nd in the world and 1st in The Ondoles Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,113.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
