The Nomadic Peoples of The Utes is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bender - First of His Name with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 16.023 billion Utesians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gambiniland. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Utesian economy, worth an astonishing 11,927 trillion Invisible Sanddollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is a breathtaking 744,425 Invisible Sanddollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, intelligence agencies frequently invite passers-by into their secret vaults for tea and biscuits, the armed forces insist that UFOs aren't real... yet, and the country behaves just like a group of independent provinces all stacked up under a trench coat. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Utes's national animal is the Robert, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Lack Thereof.

The Utes is ranked 79th in the world and 1st in Hollow Point for Highest Average Incomes, with 744,425.41 Standard Monetary Units.
