The Holy Empire of Gitttigatti is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 186 million Gitttigattians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The powerhouse Gitttigattian economy, worth 15.1 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 81,298 bitcoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 515,042 per year while the poor average 5,338, a ratio of 96.5 to 1.

Women who are caught shoplifting are sent home to their fathers with a patronising pat on the bottom, restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, the diplomatic corps stinks, and the minority party is vilified for everything from fires to earthquakes. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gitttigatti's national animal is the capitalist pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gitttigatti is ranked 271,416^th in the world and 6,136^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 352.49 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
