The Holy Empire of Ggot is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Surkho Korgay with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 943 million Ggotians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Narping-dosí-Miravill. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ggotian economy, worth 94.5 trillion karmas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,234 karmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, and CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ggot's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ggot is ranked 171,364th in the world and 261st in Sophia for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 1,699.76 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
