The People's Republic of Cutote is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Big Money with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, aversion to nipples, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.362 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 19,293 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 825,856 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 7,736,402 per year while the poor average 7,416, a ratio of 1,043 to 1.

Grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Big Money on Cutote's coulrophobia epidemic, war criminals are given full state funerals, and bank robbers always set aside 50% of the loot to pay off the judge. 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 68^th in the world and 1^st in Pontbridge Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 44,995.04 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
