The Nomadic Peoples of The Utes is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bender - First of His Name with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 19.947 billion Utesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gambiniland. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Utesian economy, worth an astonishing 16,321 trillion Invisible Sanddollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is a breathtaking 818,237 Invisible Sanddollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Utesians like vultures, motorbike jousters live young and die fast, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Utes's national animal is the Robert, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Lack Thereof.

The Utes is ranked 97,883rd in the world and 5th in Hollow Point for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,359.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
