The Decaying Shell of Gendirt is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ŧ͓͡ค̱̎เ̤̈́г̬̒ץ̐ͅ ๏̢̀Ŧ̻͘ ̱͊Ŧคเ͙̓гเ͙͐є͙̈ร̺̚ with an even hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 29.875 billion Gendirtors are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Hell. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gendirtian economy, worth an astonishing 13,535 trillion fossilized bee heads a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 453,076 fossilized bee heads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gendirt's national animal is the flesh bee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Beekeeper Association.

Gendirt is ranked 214^th in the world and 18^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 99.87 on the Human Development Index.
