The Federation of Kuttajarvi Lake is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.194 billion Kuttajarvi Lakeans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Kuttajarvi Lakean economy, worth 81.5 trillion gambles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,281 gambles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, and commercials are consistently recorded in soft white rooms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kuttajarvi Lake's national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kuttajarvi Lake is ranked 318,584th in the world and 289th in Lakes in Finland for Most Cultured, scoring 52 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
