The Commonwealth of Guadeto is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its national health service, fear of technology, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.564 billion Guadetoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The strong Guadetoan economy, worth 129 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 83,040 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, helicopter parenting is on the rise, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, and the World Commonwealth Games have been won again by Guadeto as no other country cares enough to compete. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guadeto's national animal is the indigo stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Guadeto is ranked 8,018^th in the world and 8^th in Corsair for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 69.5 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
