The Federation of Gusea is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Nit with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.41 billion Guseans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Urkaz. The average income tax rate is 57.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Gusean economy, worth 574 trillion Gusean Erkuxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 106,047 Gusean Erkuxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, wars are forgotten but not forgiven, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gusea's national animal is the Big Intelligent Reconissance Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is John Helldiver.

Gusea is ranked 276,444^th in the world and 4^th in Cools Established Barrier for Most Politically Free, scoring 19 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
