The People's Republic of Cutote is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Big Money with an iron fist, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, zero percent divorce rate, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 31.447 billion Cutoters are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dutote. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Cutoter economy, worth an astonishing 29,807 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 947,877 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 8,879,647 per year while the poor average 8,510, a ratio of 1,043 to 1.

Woodcutter axes are cited as the most common cause of death amongst Rabbit-Tevs, dessert dishes make up the Cutoter breakfast menu, the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, and citizens are arrested for naturally producing proteins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Cutote's national animal is the Rabbit-Tev, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Worship of Money.

Cutote is ranked 34th in the world and 2nd in Pontbridge Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 62,658.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
