The Consortium of Gauthier is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by President Johnson with an even hand, and notable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate population of 18.88 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.

Long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, and elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Credit mansions. 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 4,683rd in the South Pacific and 100,409th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -9 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
