The Министр по делам культуры of Gudetamia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chelsea Tallano with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.674 billion Gudetamians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, with Environment, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ubalin. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Gudetamian economy, worth 152 trillion Geopays a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 91,118 Geopays, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recognizing the Gudetamian flag qualifies you for citizenship, billions of Geopays are spent to take high-quality photos of the Chinstrap Penguin Nebula, Chinstrap Penguin is one of the most popular forenames in Gudetamia, and most of the population has had bad experiences with hoes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gudetamia's national animal is the Chinstrap Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Gudetamian Athiesm.

Gudetamia is ranked 295,397^th in the world and 223^rd in Thaecia for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -7.87 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
