The Federal Republic of Gufand is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gosh Uart with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 4.71 billion Gufands 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uruce. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Gufand economy, worth 275 trillion Gufand Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,408 Gufand Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Roman Catholicism has been named as Gufand's national religion, citizens often pray for divine guidance in supermarkets, indigenous tribal elders can be recognised by their designer watches and expensive suits, and worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gufand's national animal is the Gufand Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Gufand is ranked 44,422^nd in the world and 146^th in The Free Nations Region for Healthiest Citizens, with 6.08 bananas ingested per day.
