The Watchfires of Guyana-1 is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed population of 28.162 billion Guyana-1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Guyana-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,012 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 71,473 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guyana-1's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Guyana-1 is ranked 96,619^th in the world and 1^st in Republic of Guyana for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,441.7 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
