The Eternal Citizen State of Gawdzendia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alexander Christensen with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 18.304 billion Gawdzendians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adonia City. The average income tax rate is 26.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gawdzendian economy, worth a remarkable 4,945 trillion GZDS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 270,163 GZDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gay couples who hold hands are forced into unbreakable bonds, children are afraid to go out at night due to the ubiquity of hardened jaywalkers, the government endows universities based on clearly demonstrated greed, and residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gawdzendia's national animal is the White Collar Desk Possum, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Gawdzendia is ranked 299,420^th in the world and 2^nd in Loosely Antagonistic Nations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -11.88 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
