The Nomadic Peoples of Gitche Gumee is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Hiawatha with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.523 billion Gitche Gumeeans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wigwam. The average income tax rate is 19.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gitche Gumeean economy, worth 500 trillion Wampums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 76,731 Wampums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Economists claim no news is good news, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, government ministers sport new billboards that read 'Will Trade Votes for Private Members' Bill Support', and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gitche Gumee's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Daughter of the Moon.

Gitche Gumee is ranked 314,334^th in the world and 1^st in The Indian Tribes for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10.58 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
