The Most Serene Republic of Gopilistan is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 252 million Gopils are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 16.8%.

The strong Gopilistanian economy, worth 13.9 trillion Gabes a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 55,309 Gabes, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation leads Balder in per capita stalking, a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Gopilistan's national animal is the Jay, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Gopilistan is ranked 144,783^rd in the world and 5,944^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 61.27 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
