The Holy Empire of Ggot is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Surkho Korgay with an iron fist, and renowned for its lack of airports, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.785 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 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ggotian economy, worth 747 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 156,202 karmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, it's hard to speak ill of the dead when you don't speak of them at all, if someone says there's plenty of living space in Ggot they're lyin', and Ggotians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them. 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 2,737^th in the world and 4^th in Aeternum for Nicest Citizens, with 62.21 average smiles per day.
