The Democratic Republic of Gandoor is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Park Sang-Hee with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 31.973 billion Gandoorese hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gandoor City. The average income tax rate is 5.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gandoorese economy, worth a remarkable 8,979 trillion gdyns a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an amazing 280,837 gdyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, and the number of students attending university has reached a record high. Crime is totally unknown. Gandoor's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gandoor is ranked 105,994^th in the world and 16^th in Osakaland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
