The Oppressed Peoples of Cuterebra emasculator is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and feral children. The hard-nosed, devout population of 553 million botflies are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Public Transport, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient botflyish economy, worth 8.62 trillion scraps a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 15,593 scraps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, when it comes to real men it takes one to know one, the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, and animal control is going door-to-door releasing all pets back into the wild. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cuterebra emasculator's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cuterebra emasculator is ranked 325,476^th in the world and 3,422^nd in the West Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring -15.49 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
