The Protectorate of Guntiana is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 458 million Guntianans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Globana. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Guntianan economy, worth 18.1 trillion lirles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,417 lirles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Claiming that "my cousin said it was legal" is a common courtroom defense, Guntiana has designated Globana as its capital city, Guntianan politicians are often described as having more style than substance, and divorce lawyers are found begging on the streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guntiana's national animal is the seagull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Guntiana is ranked 188,986^th in the world and 277^th in Starlight for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,893.78 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
