The Dominion of The Governor is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 233 million Snivelers 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 Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Sniveling economy, worth 8.28 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 35,526 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, dissident voters are sent on a 'relaxing break' at the Ministry of Love, joggers are often arrested for breathing too heavily, and the government-sponsored autobiography 'A Leader For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Leader's supporters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Governor's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Governor is ranked 255,044^th in the world and 5^th in The Guild of Vharata for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,516.23 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
