The Sultanate of Gazda is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, rampant corporate plagiarism, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.56 billion Gazdans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Gazdan economy, worth 867 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 243,598 Euros, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,184,346 per year while the poor average 3,476, a ratio of 628 to 1.

There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, and country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gazda's national animal is the Black Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gazda is ranked 279,887^th in the world and 151^st in Poetry for Safest, scoring 5.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
