The Free Land of Gorklibunsond is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Federal Council with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.326 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 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gorklibunsondian economy, worth 861 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 136,235 hypercoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Gorklibunsondians like vultures, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, and Federal Council has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. Crime is totally unknown. Gorklibunsond's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gorklibunsond is ranked 2,916^th in the world and 78^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 707.4 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
