The Socialist Utopia of Gustpolvich is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Boxxy with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 31.39 billion Gustpolvichians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gustpolvich City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Gustpolvichian economy, worth a remarkable 7,806 trillion splicknacks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 248,703 splicknacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, builders across Gustpolvich are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gustpolvich's national animal is the roncky, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gustpolvich is ranked 36^th in the world and 1^st in Union of Free Nations for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 11,984.6 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
