The United States of Gondwanaia is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by CHATRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 853 million Gondwanaians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NAGPUR. The average income tax rate is 57.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gondwanaian economy, worth 110 trillion Pannas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 129,453 Pannas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Breaking rocks in the hot sun now involves using your head, the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gondwanaia's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gondwanaia is ranked 216,180^th in the world and 8,720^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
