The Consortium of Gauthier is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Johnson with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate population of 18.86 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 GBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, and the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event. 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 5th in the South Pacific and 390th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 46 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
