The Disputed Territories of Cuveta is a huge, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 473 million Cuvetans are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cuvetan economy, worth 35.3 trillion Cuveta Dollers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,534 Cuveta Dollers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, government officials across Cuveta are being "encouraged" to adopt Dumbo Octopuses to set an example for the populace, the government is spending billions of Cuveta Dollers on a fancy space probe to find a planet that may not even exist, and major internet servers have acquired citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cuveta's national animal is the Dumbo Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Cuveta is ranked 56,436^th in the world and 105^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 133.01 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
