The Republic of Guh guest is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its fear of technology, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 2.534 billion Guh guestians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Guh Nifinen. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Guh guestian economy, worth 108 trillion Guestians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 42,666 Guestians, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, young people suspect their parents might be a little bit stupid, Leader has just been declared ruler of Guh guest in an international press conference, and seafood restaurants regularly receive complaints that the food is still moving. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guh guest's national animal is the Kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Guh guest is ranked 242,013^th in the world and 3^rd in Cools Established Barrier for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 28.75 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
