“Freedom For All!!!!”

The Democratic States of The Georgian Emirates is a huge, devout nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, cynical population of 897 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 100%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the The Georgian Emirates Blood Tithe, and the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Georgian Emirates's national animal is the the cat in the brain, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the zlate.

The Georgian Emirates is ranked 607th in the region and 53,029th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
