The United Kingdom of Goram is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jed Bartlet with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 34.898 billion Goramites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, liberal, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goram City. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The all-consuming Goramian economy, worth a remarkable 4,976 trillion Sterlings a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,614 Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

On graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, economists speak of trusting in the Tao of Free Market Capitalism, and autocrats are persona non grata. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goram's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Goram is ranked 199,268th in the world and 10,756th in Balder for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 17.92 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
