The Free Land of Gorklibunsond is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Federal Council with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.244 billion Gorklibunsondians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gorklibunsondian economy, worth 854 trillion hypercoins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 136,869 hypercoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", bars are packed at all hours, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, and it turns out that your missing Roomba has run off to join the circus. Crime is totally unknown. Gorklibunsond's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gorklibunsond is ranked 289,293rd in the world and 5,426th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -22.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
