The Republic of Empire of Gora is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Great Garzo with an even hand, and notable for its lack of airports, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 9.986 billion Gorans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Goran economy, worth a remarkable 1,298 trillion Golaps 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 130,019 Golaps, 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 156,724^th in the world and 64^th in The Hole To Hide In for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 844.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
