The United Socialist States of Gitonison is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 893 million Gitonisonians 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 Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Proletenstadt. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Gitonisonian economy, worth 36.4 trillion Workers Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 40,775 Workers Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gitonison's national animal is the Adler, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Gitonison is ranked 6,676^th in the world and 52^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 10,007.75 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
