The Holy Empire of Ggot is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Surkho Korgay with an iron fist, and remarkable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, aversion to nipples, and triple-decker prams. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.773 billion Ggotians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Narping-dosí-Miravill. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ggotian economy, worth 741 trillion karmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,351 karmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Clerics remind orphans of their parents' wickedness, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and going on a diet invalidates your passport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ggot's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Archaiososliontariiothias.

Ggot is ranked 11,149^th in the world and 14^th in Aeternum for Smartest Citizens, with 90.95 quips per hour.
