The Rogue Nation of Gavinkuo is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Newman with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, triple-decker prams, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 28.92 billion Gavinkuoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of VanDeLay. The average income tax rate is 3.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gavinkuoan economy, worth a remarkable 5,730 trillion Puffy Shirts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 198,140 Puffy Shirts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, tax assessment offices double as polling stations, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Gavinkuo to be bombproof, and Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Gavinkuo's national animal is the Loch Ness Monster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gavinkuo is ranked 289,664^th in the world and 2^nd in United Nations of Epics for Most Cultured, scoring 35 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
