The United Kingdom of Guary is a massive, safe nation, ruled by gertrude with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.03 billion Guaryians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gontuary. The average income tax rate is 11.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Guaryian economy, worth 125 trillion jells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 61,859 jells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Gertrude has just been declared ruler of Guary in an international press conference, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, and major boxing matches are held in government buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Guary's national animal is the Apache, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is muslim.

Guary is ranked 109,348^th in the world and 6^th in Military Pact for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
