The Holy Republic of Gandhiana is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Gandhi with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, rampant corporate plagiarism, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.437 billion Gandhiani are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Environment also on the agenda. The income tax rate is 100%.

The all-consuming Gandhianan economy, worth an astonishing 13,775 trillion Justices a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 587,771 Justices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, posters remind people that 'Hoarding Mushrooms Is Theft', a wide-ranging purge of leading officials and family members is being carried out by Gandhi, and the nation is under martial law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gandhiana's national animal is the Free Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Social Gandhism.

Gandhiana is ranked 291,831^st in the world and 11,373^rd in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -22.65 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
