The Great Lawn of Nuting is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Communist Crazy Dave with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.317 billion Plants 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neighborville. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plantian economy, worth 251 trillion walnuts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 108,379 walnuts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, the nation claims that shipments labeled TNT stand for Treaty Negotiation Tools, and there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuting's national animal is the Wall-nut, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Plantism.

Nuting is ranked 31,716th in the world and 121st in the Plains of Perdition for Most Developed, scoring 82.58 on the Human Development Index.
