The Empire of Guastan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Executor with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.58 billion Guastanis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gua. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Guastani economy, worth 232 trillion Guas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,389 Guas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, people are always complaining about dam builders running behind schedule, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and washing-up liquid looks and smells like baby poo. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guastan's national animal is the Great Gorilla, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Guastan is ranked 173,352^nd in the world and 114^th in Texas for Largest Populations, with 1.58 billion capita.
