The Eco-Ethno Nationalist Colony of Gwane is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Fredrick The Great with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.704 billion Gwaneans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Granstia. The average income tax rate is 71.6%.

The very strong Gwanean economy, worth 552 trillion Follies a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,881 Follies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, cold medicines curiously become cheaper when government officials sneeze, foreign nationals are widely distrusted, and the disabled are forced to undergo an MRI scan every time they pick up their benefit payments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gwane's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Spritual Ethno Nationalism.

Gwane is ranked 55,309^th in the world and 3,403^rd in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 48,574.5 Standard Monetary Units.
