The People's Republic of Cutote is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Big Money with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, strictly enforced bedtime, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 36.667 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, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, 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 37,273 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 1,016,544 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 8,173,894 per year while the poor average 28,995, a ratio of 281 to 1.

Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers, hell hath no fury like an ocean scorned, the Gallery of Instasnap is the most popular museum in the country, and emergency vehicles have built-in nudge bars to give uncooperative drivers a "gentle" push. 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 4^th in the world and 1^st in Pontbridge Islands for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 1.02 million Standard Monetary Units.
