The Democratic Republic of Gandoor is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Park Sang-Hee with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 33.363 billion Gandoorese hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gandoor City. The average income tax rate is 10.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gandoorese economy, worth a remarkable 9,442 trillion gdyns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 283,024 gdyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients. Crime is totally unknown. Gandoor's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gandoor is ranked 18,360^th in the world and 9^th in Osakaland for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 6,223.27 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
