The Republic of Empire of Gora is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Great Garzo with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 11.917 billion Gorans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goventry. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Goran economy, worth a remarkable 1,543 trillion Golins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,550 Golins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bike rage is all the rage, the nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, and televisions are often seized to pay for overdue television license fees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of Gora's national animal is the Great Goran Giant Tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Empire of Gora is ranked 5,652^nd in the world and 5^th in The Hole To Hide In for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
