The STRONGEST Empire of Gendirt is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Fairy of Fairies with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.199 billion Gendirtians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Hell. The average income tax rate is 49.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Gendirtian economy, worth a remarkable 4,011 trillion Handfuls of Bees a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 303,949 Handfuls of Bees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest growing field, tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Gendirt Blood Tithe, and snap elections are called over every minor impasse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gendirt's national animal is the Yukkuri, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of Godoka.

Gendirt is ranked 1,332^nd in the world and 55^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 172.78 Quips Per Hour.
