The Decaying Shell of Gendirt is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ŧ͓͡ค̱̎เ̤̈́г̬̒ץ̐ͅ ๏̢̀Ŧ̻͘ ̱͊Ŧคเ͙̓гเ͙͐є͙̈ร̺̚ with an even hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 29.865 billion Gendirtors are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Hell. The average income tax rate is 52.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gendirtian economy, worth an astonishing 13,562 trillion fossilized bee heads a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 454,125 fossilized bee heads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, the sudden rash of anti-drug laws has left everyone dazed and confused, formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. 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 flesh bee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Beekeeper Association.

Gendirt is ranked 2,937^th in the world and 47^th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 64,478.03 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
