The Watchfires of Guy-1 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 25.342 billion Guy-1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 44.5%.

The strong Guy-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,305 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,497 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them, and school football matches are usually five-a-side. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guy-1's national animal is the Laughing Swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Guy-1 is ranked 122,129^th in the world and 1^st in Hermite Islands for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
