The People's Republic of Cutote is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Big Money with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, avowedly heterosexual populace, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 31.442 billion Cutoters are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dutote. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Cutoter economy, worth an astonishing 29,796 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 947,655 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 8,877,572 per year while the poor average 8,508, a ratio of 1,043 to 1.

The secret ingredient is love (and MSG), every fourth child is born with flippers instead of hands, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and heated town halls quickly descend into shootouts between politicians and their constituents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Cutote's national animal is the Rabbit-Tev, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Worship of Money.

Cutote is ranked 83,429th in the world and 5th in Pontbridge Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,946.93 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
