The Republic of Gorgetine is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emporor gorg with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.354 billion Gorgetineans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlanteon. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Gorgetinean economy, worth 127 trillion gorgbucks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,843 gorgbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sometimes a whole prison wing will house a single prisoner, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, the nation is known abroad mostly for its Parliamentary antics, and garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gorgetine's national animal is the falkie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gorginism.

Gorgetine is ranked 57,752^nd in the world and 9^th in Anegana for Most Patriotic, with 24.32 flags saluted per person per day.
