The Supreme and Exalted Empire of Gatchina is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Wentworth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.957 billion Gatchinans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strelsau. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gatchinan economy, worth a remarkable 8,911 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 297,489 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Officer recruitment and police brutality have reached an all-time high, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, surveys show 100% of Gatchinans are never, ever tired, and nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Gatchina's national animal is the Double Headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is USCJ Judaism.

Gatchina is ranked 312,381^st in the world and 8^th in Krasnaya for Smartest Citizens, with 0.4 quips per hour.
