The Empire of Gautania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Queen PT with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.067 billion Gautanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fernweh. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gautanian economy, worth 177 trillion crowns a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,527 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gautania's national animal is the mute swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism ⚛.

Gautania is ranked 44,150th in the world and 2,529th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 73 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
