The People's Republic of Cutote is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Big Money with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 31.458 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, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. 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 29,818 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 947,888 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 8,879,753 per year while the poor average 8,510, a ratio of 1,043 to 1.

The most common doctor's prescription is "get out of my consulting room", foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Cutoter bee, charity no longer begins at home, and breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace. 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 45^th in the world and 1^st in Pontbridge Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 47,582.83 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
