The Undying Determination of Guess and Check is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, keen interest in outer space, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, cynical population of 17.145 billion Guess and Checkians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.9%.

The powerhouse Guess and Checkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,621 trillion Monies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,551 Monies, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

On graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guess and Check's national animal is the Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Guess and Check is ranked 83,261^st in the world and 51^st in The Union of Democratic States for Highest Poor Incomes, with 36,534.98 Standard Monetary Units.
