The United States of Guyasia is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 88 million Guyasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 14.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Guyasian economy, worth 5.86 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 66,621 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Nano-Oxen are the current fad sweeping the nation, preservative-laden Guyasian cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, and penal labor is a de facto death sentence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Guyasia's national animal is the Ox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Guyasia is ranked 44,370^th in the world and 1,527^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
