The Empire of Guapia is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its public floggings. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 493 million Guapians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.9%.

The sizeable but inefficient Guapian economy, worth 25.8 trillion Guaps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,299 Guaps, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Guapia to be bombproof, agricultural employees work for peanuts, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, and breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guapia's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Guapia is ranked 248,430^th in the world and 74^th in UEPU Federal Republic for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 28.2 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
