The Savannah Republic of Ghodesia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Matthew Corpolla with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.177 billion Ghodesians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government prioritizes Education, with Public Transport, Defense, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruandland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The thriving Ghodesian economy, worth 90.7 trillion Silver cantons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 77,055 Silver cantons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 272,751 per year while the poor average 15,717, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Wandering Ghodesians are known for their one-track minds, voting district maps are said to resemble a tyrannosaurus eating the capital, people think garlic bread counts as one of their "five a day", and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ghodesia's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ghodesia is ranked 208,876^th in the world and 55^th in Flanelistan for Largest Black Market, with 395 billion Standard Monetary Units.
