The United Kingdom of Goram is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Jed Bartlet with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 34.903 billion Goramites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, liberal, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goram City. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The all-consuming Goramian economy, worth a remarkable 4,977 trillion Sterlings a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,614 Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

On graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, economists speak of trusting in the Tao of Free Market Capitalism, and autocrats are persona non grata. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goram's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Goram is ranked 187,789th in the world and 10,081st in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 793.13 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
