The Oppressed Peoples of Guer Aike is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 468 million Guer Aikeans 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of R'lyeh. The average income tax rate is 51.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Guer Aikean economy, worth 65.7 trillion Night Terrors a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 140,397 Night Terrors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven, virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in R'lyeh, breast milk lattes are the newest fad among hip urbanites, and governments opposing Guer Aike are beset by rebels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guer Aike's national animal is the Shoggoth, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Guer Aike is ranked 15,519^th in the world and 794^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 66.18 Atheism Rate.
