The Colony of Gumiho Wattinree is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 12.189 billion Gumiho are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Gumiho economy, worth 258 trillion Wattinrae denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 21,228 Wattinrae denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, genetic researchers have been expelled, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and taxi drivers seem less xenophobic these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gumiho Wattinree's national animal is the Wattinrae gumiho, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gumiho Wattinree is ranked 28,641st in the world and 6th in Yuno for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 76.22 Workforce Participation Rate.
