“None shall stop our conquest!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of Cutote is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Big Money with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, triple-decker prams, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 24.863 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. 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 21,113 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 Gambling. Average income is a breathtaking 849,204 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 7,955,154 per year while the poor average 7,626, a ratio of 1,043 to 1.

National chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, kids only know what plants are because they've seen them on the television, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. 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 1,915^th in the world and 3^rd in Pontbridge Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 135.13 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
