The Republic of Gusea is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.293 billion Guseans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Gusean economy, worth 107 trillion Gusean dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,359 Gusean dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, and Gusean police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gusea's national animal is the Big intelligent reconissance bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gusea is ranked 38,510^th in the world and 1^st in Cools Established Barrier for Most Patriotic, with 37.69 flags saluted per person per day.
