“The Workers United Shall Never Be Defeated”

The Anarcho-syndicalist Commune of Gorille is a colossal, economically powerful nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 8.834 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal individuals concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Commerce are secondary priorities. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The children of Gorille are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Gorille's radio stations, and computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Gorille's national animal is the hedgehog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the gorillian.

Gorille is ranked 1st in the region and 5,453rd in the world for Rudest Citizens.
