The People's Republic of Cutote is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Big Money with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 31.215 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 29,502 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 945,146 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 8,854,062 per year while the poor average 8,485, a ratio of 1,043 to 1.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, ladies are meant to gush with enthusiasm if they get a new vacuum cleaner for their birthday, when you fly on Air Cutote you win a seat or you die, and chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales. 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 306,784th in the world and 7th in Pontbridge Islands for Most Cultured, scoring -870 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
