The United States of Kutem is a fledgling, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 5 million Kutemes are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The tiny, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 7.5%.

The Kutemian economy, worth 247 billion Kans a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 49,441 Kans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kutem's national animal is the Ocelet, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kutem is ranked 209,145^th in the world and 3^rd in Kurala for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.06 percentage of bribes refused.
