The Consortium of Gauthier is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Johnson with an even hand, and notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate population of 18.264 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Petra. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, army rations are served on silver platters, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gauthier's national animal is the Vigilance Goshawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Credit.

Gauthier is ranked 2nd in the South Pacific and 57th in the world for Best Weather, with 1,665 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
