The Confederacy of The Grand Hutt Council is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Jabba with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.524 billion Hutts are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nal Hutta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Grand Hutt Councilian economy, worth 129 trillion Wupiupis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 84,663 Wupiupis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 573,279 per year while the poor average 4,605, a ratio of 124 to 1.

Citizens are required to report any and all incidents of prayer to their local Religious Affairs Officer, people think garlic bread counts as one of their "five a day", economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation, and laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Grand Hutt Council's national animal is the Anooba, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Grand Hutt Council is ranked 44,331st in the world and 2,548th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 47.43 kickbacks per hour.
