The Republic of The Gryffindor Tardis is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by The Doctor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.808 billion Gryffindor Time Lords love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hufflepuff Gallifrey. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Gryffindor Tardisian economy, worth 462 trillion Galleons a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,558 Galleons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, diplomatic cables about The Doctor have suddenly been very flattering, being The Doctor has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Gryffindor Tardis's national animal is the Hippogriff, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Geekism.

The Gryffindor Tardis is ranked 6,616^th in the world and 1^st in The Doctor Who Universe for Best Weather, with 268 Meters Of Sunlight.
